For the summary of the seasons from 1965/66 to 1969/70, points have been allocated according to success. The league, finals, Challenge Cup, League Cup, Yorkshire Cup, Lancashire Cup and the BBC Floodlit Trophy are listed in that order. 

First: St Helens is top courtesy of two grand final wins, a league title, Challenge Cup and Lancashire Cup. They did all three main trophies in the 65-66 season. 

Second: Leeds won the league on four consecutive occasions, a grand final, Challenge Cup and Yorkshire Cup but otherwise wasn't strong enough elsewhere to find its way to the top.

Third: Castleford made the BBC Floodlit Trophy it's own but otherwise was just a consistent performer.
