The Summer Bash is an annual event organised by the Rugby Football League. An entire round of Kingstone Press Championship matches are played in a city to showcase the sport of rugby league.[1] It will be held at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool from 2015 onwards.

Concept
The Summer Bash was introduced in 2015 after the success of the Super League Magic Weekend. It is an extra round for the Championship teams to compete in, usually a local derby. The event takes place over a single weekend in which three regular season games are played back-to-back on each day with an extra fourth game being played on the Saturday which is the final of the League 1 Cup. The League 1 Cup involves two RL Conference teams which means that it is possible for amateur teams to play at this event alongside the professionals.
History
2015: Blackpool
The games played were, where possible, 'local derby' matches in an attempt to maximise interest in the event. The "non-heartland" sides were paired against each other. An extra match on the Saturday, kick-off at 12.00 noon, was the final of the inaugural League 1 Cup between North Wales Crusaders and Swinton. The largest winning margin was the tie between London Broncos and Sheffield Eagles in which the Broncos ran out 46-6 winners.

2016: Blackpool
After a successful inaugural Summer Bash in Blackpool in 2015 it returned to Blackpool in 2016 with mostly local derbies being played apart from Bradford Vs Leigh and Sheffield Eagles Vs London Broncos not being geographical derbies and were based on league positions. Once again, the League 1 Cup final will take place as the opening game to the weekend.
