Holders St Helens will play rivals Wigan Warriors in the Betfred Challenge Cup semi-finals.
The teams meet in a crucial Super League derby on Friday, live on Sky Sports, and they will collide again at Elland Road on May 7 for a place in the Challenge Cup final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Huddersfield Giants have been paired with Hull Kingston Rovers in the other semi-final, which also takes place at Elland Road on the same day.
Saints showed their class with a 36-20 victory over Catalans Dragons in Perpignan on Saturday while Wigan were impressive 36-6 winners at Wakefield in Sunday's last quarter-final.
It is nine years since the Warriors enjoyed the last of their record 19 cup final triumphs, but a hat-trick of tries from in-form full-back Jai Field against Trinity will give them hope of reaching the final on May 28.
Huddersfield have not won the cup since 1953, but they demonstrated their quality with a 24-16 win over Hull on Saturday, while Hull KR were convincing 34-10 winners over Castleford on Friday.
