Four other teams joined Madrid FC for the first competition: FC Barcelona, Club Español de Foot-Ball, Club Vizcaya and New Foot-Ball de Madrid. The competition featured the first recorded game between FC Barcelona and Madrid FC, with the former emerging 3–1 winners. Club Vizcaya eventually beat FC Barcelona in the final.
