Most notably, the American League of Professional Football disbanded after playing one season. The ALPF was a winter soccer league organized by baseball owners of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs. The goal of this league was maintain brand relevance of their existing baseball clubs during the offseason, and to attract extra funds during the late fall and winter months.

Subsequently, the National Association Football League conducted its first season this year, having four teams play in the inaugural season. A fifth team, New Rochelle F.C., failed to start the season.
