Yorkshire rugby league team


The Yorkshire rugby league team is an English representative rugby league team consisting of players who were born in the historic county of Yorkshire or first played for a Yorkshire club.

Rivalry

Until 2003, Yorkshire played Lancashire in the annual War of the Roses game. This match was part of the County Championship until 1983 when the competition stopped and Roses went on to become a stand-alone event.

Results

Yorkshire played in the County Championship from its inception in 1895 to its final season in 1983. They have also played against international representative sides during tours to Great Britain.

Women's team

The Yorkshire women's team was set up in 2014 for a pilot Origin competition with the aim to help develop the England women's national rugby league team. The pilot was deemed a success, and saw the team return for 2015 played as an annual fixture until 2020. In 2024, the origin fixture returned and formed part of the England selection process.
