At this point there was no league championship in the modern sense, as the competition was held in a single-legged cup format, with participating clubs qualifying via regional playoffs entered by winners of six regional football sub-federations. Only the final was played over two legs. The champions were 1. HŠK Građanski from Zagreb, who beat SAŠK from Sarajevo 5–3 in the final tie.
