Both senior and junior competitions were won by Mount Eden Club, with Training College A and YAY.C.A. A ruuiiers-up respectively. Affiliated with Auckland v.ere two new associations—Waijwi (four teams) and To Puke (one team).

The rules governing the tournament were later altered to avoid any rc|>etilion of the impasse. The Country Week tourney j was won by Waikato. with Rotorua a-jrunners-up, and the tournament was in I every way successful.
