Source-derived summary

The 1963–64 Yorkshire Cup was the fifty-sixth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.

Halifax won the trophy by beating Featherstone Rovers by the score of 10–0

The match was played at Belle Vue, in the City of Wakefield, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 13,238 and receipts were £2,471.

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 sixteen.

This in turn resulted in no byes in the first round.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “1963–64 Yorkshire Cup” is rugby league season. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Yorkshire, rugby and league, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1963—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Yorkshire, rugby and league is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “rugby league season” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16153967. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1963.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
