Wakefield Trinity were crowned Super League champions for the first time in the club’s history with a 23-10 victory over Warrington Wolves in the Grand Final at Old Trafford.
It is the first time Wakefield have made the Grand Final and they achieved their greatest glory on their first attempt.
They also become the sixth winner of Super League, joining Wigan Warriors, St Helens, Leeds Rhinos, Bradford Bulls and Hull KR.
It rounds out a fairy-tale story for Wakefield who were relegated in 2023, returned to Super League in the 2025 season, and have now written themselves into the history books as champions.

Wakefield held a dominant 19-0 half-time lead thanks to converted tries from Cameron Scott, Isaiah Vagana and Jazz Tevaga, Max Jowitt staying calm under pressure with the boot.
The extra point was then added by Jack Sinfield with just minutes left in the first half.
Early in the second half there was drama as Corey Hall was sent to the sin bin for a high shot on Arron Lindop. Lindop scored with Wakefield a player down, and added a second later on, Ewan Irwin converting the first.
However, a try from Trinity winger Tom Johnstone was enough for them to stay far enough ahead and seal immortality.
Johnstone picked up the Rob Burrow Award for his phenomenal display in both attack and defence.
