The 1925–26 Lancashire Cup was the eighteenth tournament in the history of this regional rugby league competition, and another new name was added to the trophy.
This time it was the turn of Swinton, one of the founding members of the Northern Union, whose previous best had been as runners up to Oldham in 1910.
The number of teams entering this year's competition remained at 13 which resulted in 3 byes in the first round.
The weather during that short period was atrocious and in fact Wigan had 5 matches postponed due to either a waterlogged pitch, a frozen pitch, fog or other bad weather in the four-week period from early November to early December.
The final was eventually played on Wednesday 9 December 1925 and Swinton beat Wigan by 15–11.
