The 1973 Yorkshire Cup was the sixty-sixth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup Rugby competition had been held.
Contents
Leeds won the trophy by beating Wakefield Trinity by the score of 7-2
The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 7,621 and receipts were £3,728
This was Leeds' fourth victory (and the second of two consecutive victories) in what would be eight times in the space of thirteen seasons.
It was also the first of two consecutive Yorkshire Cup final appearances by Wakefield Trinity, both of which would result in defeat
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 - Quarter Finals
Involved 4 matches and 8 Clubs
Round 3 – Semi-Finals
Involved 2 matches and 4 Clubs
