Background

The original Yorkshire Cup was scrapped in 1993 due to fixture congestion after being played every year since 1905. In late 2018, a group of lower league Yorkshire based clubs resurrected the Yorkshire Cup as a pre-season tournament to add more interest and intensity to pre-season. The eight founding clubs of the 'new' Yorkshire Cup were; Batley, Bradford, Dewsbury, Featherstone, Halifax, Huslet, York and amateur club Hunslet Club Parkside.
