The League Leaders' Shield[2] is a trophy awarded to the team finishing the season top of Super League in the sport of rugby league football. This regular portion of the season precedes the playoffs for the eventual Super League Grand Final. The trophy was first awarded in Super League VII in 2002.[1]

St Helens won the first shield in 2002, and have since won the shield on a total of 9 occasions.

Wigan Warriors become only the 2nd team (along with St Helens), to retain the shield.
