The player of the match in the men's Super League Grand Final will be presented with the Rob Burrow Award from this year onwards.
The new prize will replace the Harry Sunderland Trophy, which had been presented to the most influential player in all 26 Grand Finals since 1998 and was previously used in Championship and Premiership finals.
The change was announced on Wednesday by the game's commercial management board, Rugby League Commercial, and the award's organisers, the Rugby League Writers and Broadcasters Association.
Former Leeds, England and Great Britain scrum-half Burrow won eight Super League titles and was the first player in the summer era to win the Harry Sunderland Trophy twice, in 2007 and 2011.
