Trinity won the Northern Union Challenge Cup for the first time in 1909. This was followed by successes in the Yorkshire Cup (1911) and the Yorkshire League (1909-10 & 1910-11).  However, apart from a solitary Yorkshire Cup win in 1925, further success was to elude them until after [[World War II]], as they lost four Yorkshire Cup finals during the 1930s. The first post-war Wembley final marked a change in fortune as Trinity beat [[Wigan Warriors|Wigan]] 13-12 in a closely fought contest and they went on to win the Yorkshire Cup twice over the next two season.

The club had to settle for two Yorkshire Cup and two Yorkshire League victories in the 1950's but returned to Wembley in 1960 when they trounced Hull 38-5. The 1960s were a golden period for the club with three Challenge Cup wins, three Yorkshire Cups and three Yorkshire League titles the space of six years.  However it wasn't until 1967 that they secured the prized Championship title for the first time, and then repeated the feat the following year.

For the next thirty years Wakefield fortunes were mixed and they alternated between the top two divisions without securing any silverware and just failed to qualify for the Super League when it was inaugurated in 1996. However they won the inaugural Division One Grand Final in 1998 and when they were promoted to Super League  they changed their name to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
