RFL Women's Super League

The first women's competition that was set up was the Women's Rugby League Championship, set up in 2014. It was mostly made up of community clubs with only Hunslet, Featherstone Rovers and Rochdale Hornets being professional clubs with a women's team. The league had a very low profile and only ran for three years until the Women's Super League was formed in 2017.

To give the sport a bigger profile, the Super League name used by the men's game was adopted in 2017. The new league was still made up of community clubs but more professional clubs entered a women's team, notably Bradford Bulls took over the Bradford Thunderbirds team. The four founding clubs were Bradford Bulls, Castleford Tigers, Featherstone Rovers and Thatto Heath Crusaders.

The league expanded the following year with Leeds, York and Wigan joining while St. Helens took over from Thatto Heath Crusaders. The league was expanded again to eight clubs for 2019 with the addition of Wakefield Trinity Ladies.[2]

The league continued to grow with Warrington Wolves and Huddersfield Giants joining from the Championship for the 2020 season.[3] The structure was also slightly changed with the addition of the Shield Final for the bottom six clubs to play for.

Three venues have so far hosted the Grand Final. In 2021 the Grand final and the Shield final were played as a double-header.

In rugby league, the term 'the Double' is referring to the achievement of a club that wins the top division and Challenge Cup in the same season.

The Treble refers to the team who wins all three domestic honours on offer during the season; Grand Final, League Leaders' Shield and Challenge Cup. The treble has been achieved twice. Thatto Heath Crusaders were the first when they achieved this feat in 2016 (winning the Women's Rugby League Championship, precursor to the Women's Super League). St Helens became the second team to complete the treble with victory in 2021.

The League Leaders is awarded to the team finishing the regular season top of Super League.

The Woman of Steel is an annual award for the best player of the season in Super League. It was formed in 2018 to become a part of the Man of Steel Awards at the end of the men's Super League season.
