The rugby league club St Helens R.F.C. have operated a women's team since they took some women from Thatto Heath Crusaders, and other women's sides in 2017 ahead of the 2018 season.[1] They won four successive Challenge Cups from 2013 to 2016. The 2016 win formed part of their treble winning season.[2] The side won the 2021 Women's Challenge Cup after beating York City Knights, adding to the four cup titles won as Thatto Heath.[3] That season, they also completed the treble for the second time.
