Format
Unlike the original competition the year before, games in the competition did not all take place on the same day. Knock out format was retained from the year before. The competition was scheduled to be contested by five clubs (two from Liguria and three from Piedmont). However one of the Liguria clubs retired meaning that for the second year, four teams again took part.
