There were five rounds in the men's singles but the other events consisted of four rounds. The 1901 edition has been such a success that the Badminton Association put on extra events of a handicap nature. There were 47 entries for men and 49 for women and it was the first time that players from Scotland and Ireland entered. John Stokes & Thomas Good became the first non-English winners of an event although it was not considered one of the five 'Championship events'. However there were only 9 entries for the women's doubles. Final results CategoryWinnersRunners-upScoreMen's singlesENG Ralph WatlingENG E.
