The 1964–65 Yorkshire Cup was the fifty-seventh occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.

Wakefield Trinity winning the trophy by beating Leeds by the score of 18–2. The match was played at Fartown, Fartown Ground, Huddersfield, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 13,527 and receipts were £2,707.

This was Wakefield Trinity's fifth Yorkshire Cup final appearance in a period of nine years (which included four as cup winners and one as runner-up).

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.

Involved 8 matches (with no byes) and 16 clubs
