April 2022 1936–37 Yorkshire Cup Regional knockout championship York Winners Wakefield Trinity 1935–36 Yorkshire Cup 1935–36 1937–38 Yorkshire Cup 1937–38 16 The 1936–37 Yorkshire Cup was the twenty-ninth 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) York won the trophy by beating Wakefield Trinity by the score of 9–2 in the final. The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 19,000 and receipts were £1,294 This was the York's second successive appearance in a Yorkshire Cup final, last year as defeated finalists. It was also the third and last of York's Yorkshire Cup winning appearances, although they would appear in the finals twice more, on each occasion ending as defeated finalists Background This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, one "leavers" with the loss of Acton & Willesden and one new entrant in the form of Newcastle. This resulted in the total number of entries remaining the same as last season at sixteen. This in turn resulted in no byes in the first round.
