Overview of the events of 1919 in Canadian football
Regular season play resumed following World War I .
W. A. Hewitt served as president of the Canada Rugby Union for the 1919 season.[ 1]
No playoff games were held in Eastern Canada because of a rules dispute with the CRU in Western Canada, lack of interest in the East, and student studies to the Intercollegiate Union which were deemed more important.[ 2]
