Leeds beat Castleford 20-14 in last year’s final, and they set up a re-match with a thrilling 16-10 semi-final win at St Helens.
Caitlin Beevers scored a stunning long-range try with five minutes to play to seal the win, after Courtney Hill’s touchline conversion had drawn the Rhinos level at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
