The trophy itself is known as "T'owd Tin Pot", pronounced with a Yorkshire accent

and the development of rugby league football
, the cup has been competed for by clubs who remained with the Rugby Football Union.

The trophy was won by Morley Rugby Club in the two seasons prior to the Second World War
