1933 Sydney Carnival

[1] During the competition, Queensland broke a 20-game carnival losing streak when they accounted for Canberra by 42 points.

The Canberrans were competing in their inaugural Australian National Football Carnival.

New South Wales were the better of the weaker set of teams,[2] defeating each of Tasmania, Canberra and Queensland.

A trial match featuring members of the Queensland team was held in private on Friday 11 August, but nothing further came of the proposal.
