1975–76 was the sixty-third occasion on which the Lancashire Cup completion had been held.
Widnes won the trophy by beating Salford by the score of 16-7
The match was played at Central Park, Wigan, (historically in the county of Lancashire). The attendance was 7,566 and receipts were £3,880.00
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” fixture in the first round, and one bye in the second round.
Involved 7 matches (with one “blank” fixture) and 14 clubs
