Background In 1905, the Tigers refused to travel to the home of the Quebec Rugby Football Union (QRFU) champion Ottawa Rough Riders that year and were banned by the Canadian Rugby Union (CRU) from playing in the Dominion Championship despite having a perfect record. In 1906, the CRU stated that if the Tigers wanted to qualify for the Dominion Final, they would have to defeat the 1906 QRFU champion Montreal Club by Quebec rules and the 1906 CIRFU champion McGill University club by college rules. At the time, the ORFU played with Burnside rules. Despite these challenges, Hamilton defeated Montreal 11–6 in the Dominion Semi-Final before dominating the Dominion Final against McGill and coasting to a 29–3 victory.
