After three finals, Johor finally lifts the Agong Cup

After three previous final appearances, Johor has finally claimed the Agong Cup rugby title, defeating Terengganu 34-26 in a dramatic final match held at UiTM Stadium. This victory marks the end of a nine-year wait for Johor, who had previously lost in the finals of the 2024 and 2025 editions.

Terengganu started the match with an aggressive offensive, establishing a commanding 19-0 lead within the first 18 minutes. However, Johor managed to narrow the deficit to 17-19 by halftime. The momentum shifted decisively in the second half, with Johor scoring 17 unanswered points to take a 34-19 lead, effectively breaking Terengganu's spirit.

Despite Terengganu's late surge with two tries towards the end of the game, their efforts were insufficient to overcome Johor's eight-point advantage. Johor held on until the final whistle to secure their third Agong Cup title, having previously won in 2013 and 2017. In the third-place playoff, Kelantan defeated defending champions PDRM 43-41 in another closely contested match.
