The 1933 Yorkshire Cup was the twenty-sixth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held. York won the trophy by beating Hull KR by the score of 10-4.

Background

This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no new entants and no "leavers" and so the total of entries remained the same at fifteen.
This in turn resulted in one bye in the first round.

General information for those unfamiliar

The Rugby League 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)
