1975–76 Yorkshire Cup

The 1975–76 Yorkshire Cup was the sixty-eighth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.

Leeds won the trophy by beating Hull Kingston Rovers by the score of 15-11

The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 5,743 and receipts were £3,617

This was Leeds' fifth victory (and the first of two consecutive victories) in what would be eight times in the space of thirteen seasons.

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.
