The competition reignites the old 'Floodlit Trophy' which ran between 1965 and 1979.  Broadcast nationally, it was an innovative competition that introduced limited-tackle rugby league and was the first major sporting competition to be played regularly under floodlights. Three winners of the original Floodlit Trophy - Hull KR, Hull FC and Leeds Rhinos - will be taking part in the Carnegie 9s.

The tournament also revives the tradition of the Headingley 7s, which was staged at Headingley between 1965 and 1978, and provided a feast of high energy league action for fans.
