Abandonment of the season
To support the war effort in World War I, the Association had curtailed its 1915 season by five weeks,[1] and then cancelled its 1916 season entirely.[2] With the war still ongoing, the Association voted on 5 February 1917 to cancel the 1917 season as well.[3] 1917 was the last Association season cancelled during World War I, with a premiership season held in 1918 with a reduced number of clubs.[4]
