The 2017 League 1 Cup known as the 2017 iPro Sport cup for sponsorship reasons[1] is the third running of the competition, first played in 2015.
The 2017 competition was won by Barrow Raiders who defeated North Wales Crusaders 38–32 in the final at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool on 27 May 2017.
The League 1 Cup competition is for the rugby league clubs in the British League 1 - the third tier of rugby league in Britain.
