The 1933–34 Yorkshire Cup was the twenty-sixth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held. York won the trophy by beating Hull Kingston Rovers by the score of 10–4.
Background
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 fifteen.
This in turn resulted in one bye in the first round.
