The previous year's defeated finalists returned for a second year, but this year they were triumphant, Huddersfield winning the trophy by beating Hull by the score of 18-10.
The match was played at Odsal in the City of Bradford, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 28,714 and receipts were £1,534.
For the losers, Hull, it was to be their fifth defeat in six appearances in the Yorkshire Cup final.
