Eight teams from across the city contested during the season, with Balmain finishing on top of the ladder to claim the premiership.

Balmain were undefeated after eight rounds but a mid-year Australian tour to New Zealand saw the black and golds lose their representative stars and their lead was lost to Eastern Suburbs for one week late in the season.

The final match of the season turned out to be the decider for the premiership, with the top two teams playing one another at the Royal Agricultural Society Ground.

At the end of the day, it was the goal kicking of Balmain's Lyall Wall that secured the premiership, with a 13–4 win over Eastern Suburbs.
