This edition was the first of the new version created that year by the USFSA, which decided to extend the competition beyond the Paris region in order to increase the popularity of the sport across the country.

[1] This edition, which was open to provincial clubs, is thus considered by many as the first real French championship with teams from Paris and the Province.

[1][3] The game was thus postponed for 25 March, now in Amiens, but the northern winners had to forfeit after a flu epidemic of influenza struck the players, so Le Havre reached the final by default.

[2][3] Iris Club Lillois withdrew because they had influenza, so Le Havre AC reached the final by default.

Club français refused to play in the final, so the USFSA awarded Le Havre AC the French championship.
