Canadian Football News in 1919

Regular season play resumed following World War I.

W. A. Hewitt served as president of the Canada Rugby Union for the 1919 season.[1]

No playoff games were held in Eastern Canada because of a rules dispute with the CRU in Western Canada, lack of interest in the East, and student studies to the Intercollegiate Union which were deemed more important.[2]
