2007 Challenge Cup

2007 Challenge Cup

The 2007 Carnegie Challenge Cup began in February 2007. The Challenge Cup is the most prestigious knock-out competition in the world of rugby league, featuring teams from across Europe including England, Scotland, Wales, France and Russia.

In 2007 the preliminary round was dropped, reducing the number of amateur clubs involved. Teams from the National League were given byes to round three, and teams from the Super League entered in round four. Teams from outside of the UK were introduced at various stages.

The final was 26 August at the new Wembley Stadium between the holders St Helens and Catalans Dragons. The Dragons was the first French club ever to take part in the competition's final, however, were eventually outclassed by St. Helens 30-8.
