1951–52 Yorkshire Cup

The 1951–52 Yorkshire Cup was the forty-fourth occasion on which rugby league's Yorkshire Cup competition was held. Wakefield Trinity won the trophy by beating Keighley in the final. == Background == This season no junior/amateur clubs were invited to take part, but newly elected to the league Doncaster were added to the competition, thus the number of entrants remained at the same as last season's total number of sixteen. This in turn resulted in no byes in the first round. The competition again followed the original formula of a knock-out tournament, with the exception of the first round which was still played on a two-legged home and away basis. == Competition and results == === Round 1 - First leg === Involved 8 matches (with no byes) and 16 clubs All first round ties are played on a two-legged home and away basis === Round 1 - Second leg === Involved 8 matches (with no byes) and 16 clubs All first round ties are played on a two-legged home and away basis === Round 1 - Replay === Involved 1 match and 2 clubs === Round 2 - quarterfinals === Involved 4 matches and 8 clubs All second round ties are played on a knock-out basis === Round 3 – semifinals === Involved 2 matches and 4 clubs Both semi-final ties are played on a knock-out basis === Final === This was Keighley's only appearance in a Yorkshire Cup final (except for the 1943 Wartime final).
