The 1932–33 Yorkshire Cup was the fifteenth occasion on which Rugby Football League's (RFL) Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.

Leeds won the trophy by beating Wakefield Trinity by the score of 8–0

The match was played at Fartown, Huddersfield, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 17,685 and receipts were £1,183

This was Leeds' third of six victories in a period of ten years, during which time they won every Yorkshire Cup final in which they appeared

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.
