The 1974 Lancashire Cup was the sixty-second occasion on which the completion had been held. Widnes won the trophy by beating Salford by the score of 19-9.

Competition and results

The total number of teams entering the competition remained at last season’s total of 14 with no junior/amateur clubs taking part. The same fixture format was retained, but due to the decrease in the number of participating clubs, resulted in one “blank” or “dummy” fixtures in the first round, and one bye in the second round.[1][2]
