The 1937–38 Lancashire Cup was the thirtieth occasion on which the Lancashire Cup competition had been held.<br /> Warrington won the trophy by beating Barrow by 8–4. <br /> The match was played at Central Park, Wigan, (historically in the county of Lancashire). The attendance was 14,000 and receipts were £800.

Background

The number of teams entering this year's competition decreased by one with the withdrawal of Streatham & Mitcham, back to the previous total of 13 but the same fixture format was retained. <br /> There was once again a bye in the first round, and there was still a "blank" or "dummy" fixture. The bye in the second round remained.
