1981–82 Yorkshire Cup

The 1981–82 Yorkshire Cup was the 74th occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.

Castleford won the trophy by beating Bradford Northern by the score of 10–5

The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 5,852 and receipts were £10,359

1981 is the start of an incredible eleven years in which Castleford. previously only once winners in 1977, will make eight appearances in the Yorkshire Cup final, winning four and ending as runner-up in four occasions.

It is also the first of two successive years when Bradford Northern played in the Yorkshire Cup final, and in both cases they ended as runner-up

This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no new entrants 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.
