Notes

1. From 1906 until 1973 (except for two seasons between 1962 and 1964) a play-off format was used to determine the overall league champions. Between 1973 and 1997, the championship was awarded to the league winners, and the play-offs were replaced by the Rugby League Premiership. A play-off system for the championship was reinstated in 1998.
2. Huddersfield won the Yorkshire League this season.
3. The Rugby League Championship and all cup competitions were suspended between 1915 and 1919 due to the First World War, and was replaced with a Wartime Emergency League.
4. The Emergency League was abandoned following the conclusion of the First World War, and was replaced by a shortened competitive season.
5. The Rugby League Championship was suspended between 1939 and 1945 due to the Second World War, and was replaced with a Wartime Emergency League.
