The 1912 Yorkshire Cup was the eighth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition, a Rugby league tournament, was held. This year's tournament saw a new name on the trophy, Batley winning the trophy by beating Hull by the score of 17-3
The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 16,000 and receipts were £523
This was the only time between 1909–10 and 1919-20 inclusive that Huddersfield would not contest the final. During this period the club made seven appearances out of the eight occasions winning six times (which included four consecutive times between 1913–14 and 1919–20.)
