Halifax defeated London Broncos 10-6 and Batley toppled York Knights 22-8 in the semi-finals to advance to their first final appearance in this relatively new competition.

This is the fourth edition of the tournament, which offers a 'second chance' to Championship and League 1 sides who reach the sixth round or beyond in the Challenge Cup.

Reigning champions Leigh Centurions have since been rebranded as Leigh Leopards and will line up in the Challenge Cup final against Hull KR just hours before the 1895 Cup final goes ahead on the same field at Wembley.
