The Yorkshire Regiment Trophy

When Leeds Tykes, Doncaster Knights and Rotherham Titans were in The Championship, the Yorkshire derby games were always tough battles. The 3 teams played for the Yorkshire Regiment Trophy; the winner was the team with most points after all the Yorkshire derby were played.

The competition took a break when the clubs were in different leagues. Last season, with 9 Yorkshire teams in National 2 North, the trophy was reinstated. The Royal Yorkshire Regiment were delighted to support the idea, and the new Chair of Yorkshire RFU agreed.

Leeds Tykes won the Yorkshire Regiment Trophy for the 2023/24 season. Even though Rotherham won the league, we won the Yorkshire Regiment Trophy as one of our defeats came against Fylde, a team outside of Yorkshire, so we won the Yorkshire Regiment Trophy league thanks to our bonus points.

The competition continued in 2024/25, with Harrogate RUFC joining the Yorkshire derby battles and 8 teams playing in National 2 North. Yorkshire derbies occur every week of the season, adding plenty of spice to the league’s matches. Leeds Tykes are proud to be winners for the second season running.
