Match report

Leeds Rhinos produced the biggest winning margin in Wembley-era Challenge Cup final history, thrashing Hull Kingston Rovers 50-0. Tom Briscoe scored an individual record five tries, breaking Leroy Rivett's previous record of four (set in 1999), while Brett Delaney opened the scoring with a contentious video-referee-awarded try in the seventh minute. Danny McGuire, Rob Burrow and Brad Singleton also crossed as Leeds overwhelmed a Hull KR side making their first Super League-era final appearance. Kevin Sinfield converted 7 of 9 attempts in what proved a fitting send-off performance ahead of his retirement, alongside veteran forward Jamie Peacock. The result formed part of a Leeds treble-winning season and remains the largest Challenge Cup final winning margin of the Wembley era. Since Super League's 1996 launch, the Challenge Cup has continued to sit alongside the league championship as one of English rugby league's two most prestigious domestic honours, with the final remaining a fixture at Wembley Stadium (barring occasional relocations) and continuing to draw some of the largest single-match crowds anywhere in the sport. Since 1946/47, the competition's individual award, the Lance Todd Trophy, has been presented to the final's outstanding player, voted for by a panel of media representatives at the final whistle — on several notable occasions the trophy has gone to a player on the losing side, an unusual honour that reflects the award's focus on individual performance rather than simply reflecting the final scoreline. This was the 114th Challenge Cup final played, and, under the name “Leeds Rhinos,” the 3rd Challenge Cup title for the club.
