Cup holders, Castleford, retained the trophy by beating Bradford Northern by the score of 28–6.

This was the eighth time in the incredible eleven-year period in which Castleford, previously only once winners in 1977–78, had made eight appearances in the Yorkshire Cup final, winning on four and ending as runner-up on four occasions. It was also the second year in succession that Castleford had won the trophy. within that eleven-year period.

Background

This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no "leavers" but one new entrant in the form of Scarborough Pirates and so the total of entries increased by one from last season, to a total of nineteen.

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.
