The 1989 Challenge Cup was the 88th staging of rugby league's oldest knockout competition, the Challenge Cup. Known as the Silk Cut Challenge Cup for sponsorship reasons, the final was contested by Wigan and St. Helens at Wembley. Wigan won the match 27âÂÂ0.
This was the first time since 1951 that a team had been held scoreless in a Challenge Cup Final at Wembley.
