The 1992 Lancashire Cup was the 80th and last occasion on which the Lancashire Cup competition was held. Wigan won the trophy by beating St. Helens by the score of 5-4 in the final.
The failure of London Crusaders to enter, due primarily to financial pressures, resulted in the number of entrants this year decreasing by one to 16.
This resulted in a full fixture list, with no requirement for a preliminary round, nor any “blank” or “dummy” fixtures or any byes.
Involved 8 matches (with no byes) and 16 clubs. [1]
