1989–90 Yorkshire Cup

The 1989–90 Yorkshire Cup was the eighty-second occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition was held. Bradford Northern won the trophy for the second time in three years, this time by beating Featherstone Rovers by the score of 20-14<br /> The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 12,607 and receipts were £50,775<br /> For the first time, both semi-final matches resulted in draws, both requiring a replay.

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 eighteen.<br /> This in turn resulted in the necessity to continue with a preliminary round to reduce the number of clubs entering the first round to sixteen.
