The tournament was won by Western Province, while the other competing teams were Eastern Province, Griqualand West and Transvaal.[1]
This was the only time the Board Trophy was played for; in 1891, the Currie Cup was presented to Griqualand West and the competition for that trophy became the main domestic competition in South Africa.
