The final was contested by Warrington Wolves and St. Helens, the first time the two sides have met in a major final.

Background

The two sides have never met in a Challenge Cup final before. It had been 11 years since St Helens last won in the Challenge Cup Final, and despite final appearances in 2016 and 2018, Warrington have not triumphed since 2012.
Warrington came into the game on the back of five straight defeats in Super League, and with being defeated by Catalans Dragons in last season's final. On the other hand, Saints were leading the way at the top of the table, losing just three games all season, 2
two of which came at London Broncos, with the other, away to Catalans Dragons. They had not lost a home game so far in the season.
