Bradford Northern winning the trophy by beating Hunslet by the score of 17-8

The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 17,522 and receipts were £4,359.

Background

This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no new entrants and no "leavers" and so the total of entries remained the same at sixteen.
