The Hundred is set to make history this weekend by awarding a trophy to the top combined team across the men's and women's formats for the first time. This fan-named Hundred Helix trophy will go to the team that has earned the most points across both competitions, which have been played side by side since 2021.

The Trent Rockets have already secured the 2026 Helix trophy after qualifying automatically for both the men's and women's finals, boasting 60 points—a substantial 16 points ahead of second-place Sunrisers Leeds.

This innovative concept has sparked discussions about how similar combined awards might look in other sports:

• In football, despite Manchester City winning the Women's Super League, Arsenal would emerge as the top team in a combined 2025-26 Premier League and WSL table, finishing three points ahead due to their seven-point lead over City in the Premier League.
• The striking duo of Erling Haaland and Khadija Shaw combined for an impressive 48 league goals last season.
• Chelsea, despite a 10th-place finish in the Premier League, ranks fourth overall due to their solid performance in the WSL, finishing third.
• Conversely, West Ham sits at the bottom among clubs competing in both leagues, accumulating just 58 points.

In rugby, France leads the combined Six Nations table for 2026, having lost only two matches and achieving eight wins and 21 points in both competitions. Meanwhile, England's perfect record in the women's Six Nations secures them second place in the combined table, hindered by a single win in the men's competition. Wales finds itself at the bottom, with just 11 points after finishing last in both leagues.
