The 2012 Championship Cup, known as the Northern Rail Cup due to sponsorship from Northern Rail, was the 11th season of the rugby league football competition for clubs in Great Britain's Co-operative Championship and Championship One.

In the final staged at Bloomfield Road in Blackpool, Halifax defeated Featherstone Rovers 21-12 to claim the trophy.

Format

The twenty teams are split up into two pools. Each team will play two home games and two away games against teams in their pool. The top four teams in each pool following the conclusion of the group stage fixtures will then progress into an open draw for the knock-out quarter-final stage. The competition will start on February 5.

Toulouse Olympique will compete in this competition despite withdrawing from the Co-operative Championship. All the teams from the Championships will compete except for the newly reformed North Wales Crusaders.
