In this season, two championships of Prima Categoria were played:
- Italian Championship, the main tournament where only Italian players were allowed to play; the winners were proclaimed Campioni d'Italia (Italian Champions)
- Federal Championship, a secondary tournament where foreign players (if they lived in Italy) were also allowed to play; the winners would be proclaimed Campioni Federali (Federal Champions)[1]
The winner of Italian Championship was Pro Vercelli. They won as prize Coppa Buni.
The winner of Federal Championship was Juventus. They did not receive the Spensley Cup after the general boycott of the tournament.
In fact, only Pro Vercelli's title is officially recognized by the Italian Football Federation, while the Federal Championship won by Juventus was later annulled by FIGC, due to the boycott made by the "spurious international teams" (the clubs composed mostly of foreign players).
