The 1937–38 Yorkshire Cup was the thirtieth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.


The Yorkshire Cup competition was a knock-out competition between (mainly professional) rugby league clubs from the county of Yorkshire. The actual area was at times increased to encompass other teams from outside the county such Mansfield, Coventry, this season's appearance of Newcastle, and even last year's appearance of London (in the form of Acton & Willesden. The competition always took place early in the season, in the Autumn, with the final taking place in (or just before) December (The only exception to this was when disruption of the fixture list was caused during, and immediately after, the two World Wars)


Leeds won the trophy by beating Huddersfield by the score of 14-8

The match was played at Belle Vue, in the City of Wakefield, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 22,000 and receipts were £1,508

This was Leeds' last of their six victories in a period of ten years, during which time they won every Yorkshire Cup final in which they appeared.

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 in the first round.
