Salford won the trophy by beating Wigan by 15–7. The match was played at Wilderspool, Warrington, now in the County Palatine of Chester but (historically in the county of Lancashire. The attendance was 16,500 and receipts were £950. This was the second of the three consecutive Lancashire Cup finals in which Salford would beat Wigan. Background The number of teams entering this year's competition was increased by one with the addition of Streatham & Mitcham (hardly a Lancashire club, but useful to make the numbers up). This brought the number up to 14 and the same fixture format was retained. There was now no need for a bye in the first round, but there was still a "blank" or "dummy" fixture. The bye in the second round remained.
