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 as Newcastle, Mansfield, Coventry, and (as applying for this season) even 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)
1935 was the twenty-eighth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.
Leeds won the trophy by beating York by the score of 3-0
The match was played at Thrum Hall, Halifax, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 14,616 and receipts were £1,113
This was Leeds' fifth of six victories in a period of ten years, during which time they won every Yorkshire Cup final in which they appeared. Also the second of two consecutive victories which they would enjoy.
