Overview of the events of 1919 in Canadian football
Regular season play resumed following

W. A. Hewitt served as president of the

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.
