The Super League Grand Final is the pinnacle of the domestic rugby league season, with every team aiming to make the Old Trafford final at the start of the campaign.
To date, only four teams have been able to lift the trophy on the biggest stage, while four other clubs have made an appearance in the showpiece event.
As well as having to finish the regular season in the qualifying places, the winner also needs to get through the play-offs and then win the final in front of 60,000+ fans.
St Helens are the most successful Grand Final team in history, with nine victories and five runners-up appearances at Old Trafford.
Leeds Rhinos have collected the trophy on eight occasions, with Wigan Warriors champions on five occasions, while Bradford Bulls have three titles to their name.
