The 1969âÂÂ70 Yorkshire Cup was the sixty-second occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition was held.
Hull F.C. won the trophy by beating Featherstone Rovers by a score of 12-9.
The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 11,089 and receipts were ã3,419.
This was only Hull FC's second Yorkshire Cup win (the previous being in 1923) in thirteen final appearances, and in many quarters the club had been classed as "the bridesmaid but never the bride". It was also Featherstone Rovers's first of two successive final defeats.
This was the last Yorkshire Cup final for nine years in which the attendance would reach 10,000.
This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no new entrants and no "leavers", so the total of entries remained the same, at sixteen.
This in turn resulted in no byes in the first round.
Round 1 involved eight matches (with no byes) and 16 clubs.
Round 2's quarterfinals involved four matches and eight clubs.
Round 3's semifinals involved two matches and four clubs.
Scoring - Try = three (3) points - Goal = two (2) points - Drop goal = two (2) points
