History

The Lazenby Cup was first played in 1912 after Tracey Lazenby donated the trophy to be played for by Hunslet Hawks and Leeds Rhinos with the proceeds going to junior rugby in the city. Hunslet and Leeds both played for the trophy until 1972, after Leeds played Bramley until 1985 when the trophy was retired until 2004 when the trophy was contested between Leeds and Hunslet again.
