The 1991 Yorkshire Cup was the eighty-fourth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.
Cup holders, Castleford, retained the trophy by beating Bradford Northern by the score of 28-6
The match was played at Elland Road, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 8,916 and receipts were £?
This was the eighth time in the incredible eleven-year period in which Castleford. previously only once winners in 1977, had made eight appearances in the Yorkshire Cup final, winning on four and ending as runner-up on four occasions. It was also the second year in succession that Castleford had won the trophy. within that eleven-year period.
This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no "leavers" but one new entrant in the form of Scarborough Pirates and so the total of entries increased by one from last season, to a total of nineteen.
This in turn resulted in the necessity to continue with a preliminary round to reduce the number of clubs entering the first round to sixteen.
