The league comprised eight teams, and Linfield won the championship for the 12th time.
Season summary
For this season the number of competing clubs dropped to eight due to the withdrawal of Derry Celtic (who had played continuously in the league since 1900) and Tritonville (who withdrew after one season).{{citebook|title=Football in Northern Ireland: A Statistical Record 1881-2005|author=Alex Graham|year=2005|page=31–32}}
