The North Riding Senior Cup is the county cup in the North Riding of Yorkshire. It is administered by the North Riding County FA.[1] According to the current rules of the competition, it is open to all clubs whose first affiliation is with the NRCFA. A team having entered an F.A. Competition, (Challenge Cup, Vase or Trophy), in the current season must compete in the Senior Cup. Clubs can be exempt upon payment of a fee. Therefore, the lowest tier for compulsory entry are Northern League Division Two, Northern Counties East Division One or other Leagues of a similar status.[2]

The current holders are Scarborough Athletic who won the cup for the third time, 4 years after the first, by beating South Park Rangers 4–1 in the final at the York Community Stadium. They are currently 2 time consecutive winners of the competition.

The winner of the cup goes on to compete in the Eric Powell Charity Cup against the Winners of the Durham Challenge Cup.[3]
