1995–96 Regal Trophy
1995-96 was the twenty-fifth season for the Regal Trophy competition. This season saw St Helens making only their second final appearance in a John Player trophy final (having won on the previous occasion) and Wigan making their ninth appearance (with seven previous wins). Wigan were returning as cup-holders after being last season's winner and St Helens had featured in a record eight semi-finals.
Wigan won the trophy by beating St Helens by the score of 25-16
The match was played at The McAlpine Stadium, Stadium Way, Huddersfield, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 17590 and receipts were £unknown (can anyone help?).
It was also the eleventh season in the run of eleven consecutive seasons in which Wigan almost monopolised the Player Trophy competition. During these eleven years Wigan won the trophy on seven occasions, were runner-up once, and losing semi-finalists once, leaving only two seasons which they failed to reach the semi-final.
Background
This season saw a reduction in the number of entrants, the number decreasing to forty-two.
The inclusion of two French clubs continued, but the number of invitations to the top junior clubs was reduced by six from eleven last season, to just five this season.
The ten first round winners added to the twenty-two clubs given byes, gave a total of entrants into the second round of thirty-two. There were no drawn matches during this season's competition

General information for those unfamiliar
The council of the Rugby Football League voted to introduce a new competition, to be similar to The Football Association and Scottish Football Association's "League Cup". It was to be a similar knock-out structure to, and to be secondary to, the Challenge Cup. As this was being formulated, sports sponsorship was becoming more prevalent and as a result John Player and Sons, a division of Imperial Tobacco Company, became sponsors, and the competition never became widely known as the "League Cup"
The competition ran from 1971-72 until 1995-96 and was initially intended for the professional clubs plus the two amateur BARLA National Cup finalists. In later seasons the entries were expanded to take in other amateur and French teams. The competition was dropped due to "fixture congestion" when Rugby League became a summer sport
The Rugby League season always (until the onset of "Summer Rugby" in 1996) ran from around August-time through to around May-time and this competition always took place early in the season, in the Autumn, with the final usually taking place in late January
The competition was variably known, by its sponsorship name, as the Player's No.6 Trophy (1971–1977), the John Player Trophy (1977–1983), the John Player Special Trophy (1983–1989), and the Regal Trophy in 1989.
Postscript
To date, this was the last season for the John Player sponsored trophy competitions, which had taken place annually since its inauguration in the 1971-72 for a period of 25 seasons.
It was unfortunately such a short period for what was intended to be the "League Cup" and that very few of the professional clubs managed to have their name inscribed on the trophy, or even reach the semi-final stage
The reasons given by the ruling body, the Rugby Football League for the competition's demise, were that it was deemed the trophy was adding to fixture congestion for more successful sides and a clean sweep was needed to herald the "Summer Rugby" image of the game.
