Until 2003, Yorkshire played Lancashire in the annual War of the Roses game. This match was part of the County Championship until 1983 when the competition stopped and Roses went on to become a stand-alone event.
Yorkshire played in the County Championship from its inception in 1895 to its final season in 1983. They have also played against international representative sides during tours to Great Britain.[2]
