Wigan Warriors



Wigan Warriors Rugby League Football Club is a professional Rugby League club from Wigan, Greater Manchester. They are the current Super League champions. Their home ground is the DW Stadium, before which they played at Central Park between 1902 and 1999.

The club is one of the original twenty two rugby football clubs that founded the Northern Rugby Football Union in 1895 following the schism from the Rugby Football Union, along with the other professional rugby league club in the borough, Wigan's traditional rivals Leigh.

Wigan have won a record nineteen League Championships, seventeen Challenge Cups and three World Club Challenges. Their most successful period was from the late 1980s to mid-1990s when they won the Challenge Cup eight seasons in succession and the League Championship seven seasons in succession.

Wigan have honoured several former players via induction into the club's Hall of Fame.
