Manukau Magpies formed[]

Manukau held a meeting in Onehunga in March. They decided to field a senior team and two junior teams.[2] James Rukutai was their captain and after his death in 1940 the trophy for the minor premiers was named after him. Teams still play for it today.

New clubs[]

There were other clubs which had formed but only competed in the lower grades. These were Northcote & Birkenhead Ramblers (founded in 1910 and who later became known as the Northcote Tigers), Ellerslie Wanderers (in 1919 renamed Ellerslie United, and then later Ellerslie Eagles), , and Otahuhu Rovers ('founded' in 1911 but not properly formed until 1912 when they entered a second grade team in mid May). The Ellerslie club initially wore purple and gold, then in 1913 changed to green, before later changing to red, white and blue.

Myers Cup (First Grade Championship)[]

Thirty regular season matches were played with nearly all fixtures being played at Eden Park (25 in total). With the being used for four North Shore Albions home matches, and one match at Ellerslie.

Round 4[]

Eden only had nine players for their match with North Shore and after trailing by 33 points to 0 they threw in the proverbial towel and the match ended at that point. No point scorers or match description was published in the NZ Herald or Auckland Star. In the match between Ponsonby and Newton Charles Savory was ordered from the field for “rough and tumble” play just before fulltime and a match his side won by 16 to 6. He had earlier scored 2 tries and kicked a conversion.

Round 6[]

The code showed that it was still struggling in its infancy to always organise itself properly with City only managing to field 12 players and the Auckland Star noted in its match report that several players “wore wrongly coloured uniforms”, and that the match was 45 minutes late kicking off. Also noticeable was the Newton and Eden result where Newton ran in 12 tries but only managed to convert one of them. Goal kicking in general was relatively poor and was shared amongst the teams with it not uncommon to see 3 or 4 players used.
