The 1992–93 Yorkshire Cup was a regional knockout competition in the sport of rugby league, contested by professional clubs based in the historic county of Yorkshire, England. It formed part of the 1992–93 rugby league season and was the final edition of the Yorkshire Cup before the competition was discontinued.
Competition format
The Yorkshire Cup traditionally followed a single‑elimination format, with clubs drawn against one another in successive rounds culminating in a final match. Matches were played under the standard rules of rugby league as governed by the Rugby Football League (RFL).
Historical context
The Yorkshire Cup had been contested intermittently since its inception in 1905, serving as a prestigious county trophy alongside national competitions such as the Challenge Cup. By the early 1990s, changes in the structure of domestic rugby league and the introduction of summer rugby led to the tournament’s termination after the 1992–93 season.
Final match
The final of the 1992–93 Yorkshire Cup was held at a neutral venue in Yorkshire; however, detailed records of the participating teams, final score, date, and venue are not readily available in verified sources. Consequently, specific results of the 1992–93 final remain unconfirmed.
Legacy
The cessation of the Yorkshire Cup marked the end of one of the oldest regional competitions in English rugby league. Its historical significance is noted for having provided a platform for Yorkshire clubs to compete for county honours and for contributing to the development of the sport within the region.
