The 1922–23 Yorkshire Cup was the fifteen occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held. For the third year in succession, the name of yet another new club appeared on the trophy. This year, York won the trophy by beating Batley by the score of 5–0 in the final. The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 33,719 and receipts were £2,414.
The Rugby Football League's 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 as Newcastle, Mansfield, Coventry, and even London (in the form of Acton & Willesden). The Rugby League season always (until the onset of "Summer Rugby" in 1996) ran from around August-time through to around May-time and this 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).
This season, two junior clubs were invited to enter bringing the total number taking part up to a "full house" of sixteen, which in turn removed the necessity to have any byes.[1] [2]
Involved 8 matches (with no byes) and 16 clubs
