== Notes and comments ==
1 * The receipts are given as £3,833 by the Rothmans Rugby League Yearbook of 1991-92<ref name=Roth1991-92Misc/> and 1990-91<ref name=Roth1990-91Misc/> but £3 less at £3,832 by "100 Years of Rugby. The History of Wakefield Trinity 1873-1973 by J C Lindley and D W Armitage<ref name=WakeTrinMisc/><br />
2 * [[Odsal Stadium|Odsal]] is the home ground of [[Bradford Bulls|Bradford Northern]] from 1890 to 2010 and the current capacity is in the region of 26,000, The ground is famous for hosting the largest attendance at an English sports ground when 102,569 (it was reported that over 120,000 actually attended as several areas of boundary fencing collapse under the sheer weight of numbers) attended the replay of the Challenge Cup final on 5 May 1954 to see Halifax v Warrington

=== General information for those unfamiliar ===
The Rugby League 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 RLFC|Newcastle]], [[Mansfield Marksman#History|Mansfield]], [[Coventry RLFC|Coventry]], and even London (in the form of [[Acton and Willesden R.L.F.C.|Acton & Willesden]].<br />
The Rugby League season always (until the onset of "Summer Rugby" in 1996) ran from around August-time through to around May-time and this 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)

The 1958 Yorkshire Cup was the fifty-first occasion on which the competition had been held. Leeds won the trophy by beating Wakefield Trinity by the score of 24-20.

Background

[edit]

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.
