Yorkshire Cup Final Curtain-Raiser
Although a trophy was presented, this was not a competition as such. Associations were invited in turn to provide the teams. As the match was usually played early in the season, the previous season's Under 11 sides were chosen, until 1990, when the current Under 13s were selected. The matches ran from 1976 (the season after an Under 11 competition was introduced) until 1992, the last year the Yorkshire Cup Final was played.
The 1980 match was cancelled due to poor ground conditions, so the same teams were given the chance to play as Under 13s in 1981.

Steven Mullaney Memorial Trophy
This early-season Under 13 tournament - played at 13-a-side, except for the last two years when it was played at 10-a-side - was organised by Wakefield SRL and the parents of Steven Mullaney, who died in a road accident only months after starring in the Wembley Cup Final curtain-raiser in 1986. Associations across the north were invited to take part, thus Salford became the only Lancashire side to win a Yorkshire trophy. The tournament ran for seven years.
