 Despite contesting the first ever Challenge Cup in 1897, which they lost 10-3 to the "Gallant Youths" of Batley, St. Helens had to wait until 1927 before collecting their first silverware for winning the Lancashire Cup. A modicum of success saw them win the Lancashire League in 1929-30 & 1931-32 and the National Championship also in 1931-32 but they returned to mediocrity until the arrival of Jim Sullivan as coach in 1952. Under Sullivan's control the club won the National Championship in 1952-53 & 1958-59, the Challenge Cup in 1955-56, the Lancashire Cup in 1953-54 and the Lancashire League in 1952-53, 1956–57, 1958-59 & 1959-60.
-During the 1960's, Saints became a major force in the game and won two more Challenge Cups two National Championships, the Lancashire Cup six times and the Lancashire League five times. Success continued into the seventies with two more Challenge Cup victories, 2 Championship wins and 2 Premiership titles, but after 1977 the silverware seemed to elude them apart from a Premiership title and Lancashire Cup win in the 1984-85 season.
