The 1969 Yorkshire Cup was the sixty-second occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.
Contents
Hull F.C. won the trophy by beating Featherstone Rovers by the score of 12-9
The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 11,089 and receipts were £3,419
This was only Hull F.C.'s second Yorkshire Cup win (the previous being in 1923) in thirteen final appearances and in many quarters the club had been classed as "the bridesmaid but never the bride". It was also to be Featherstone Rovers's first of two successive final defeats
This was the last Yorkshire Cup final for 9 years in which the attendance would reach 10,000
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 sixteen.
This in turn resulted in no byes in the first round.
Round 1
Involved 8 matches (with no byes) and 16 clubs
Round 2 - Quarterfinals
Involved 4 matches and 8 clubs
Round 3 – Semifinals
Involved 2 matches and 4 clubs
