1974–75 Yorkshire Cup

The 1974–75 Yorkshire Cup was the 67th occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.

Hull Kingston Rovers won the trophy by beating Wakefield Trinity by the score of 16-13

The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 5,823 and receipts were £3,090

It was also the second consecutive Yorkshire Cup final appearances by Wakefield Trinity, both of which would result in defeat

Background

This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no new entrants and no "leavers" and so the total of entries remained the same at sixteen.

This in turn resulted in no byes in the first round.
