1926–27 Yorkshire Cup

The 1926–27 Yorkshire Cup was the nineteenth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition was held.

The attendance was 11,300 and receipts were £863.

Background
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).

Competition and results
This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, but last year's junior entrant Castleford had now turned (semi-)professional, and took part as a full league member; and so the total of entries remained the same at fifteen. This in turn resulted in one byes in the first round.
