Final season tables -- Queensland British Football Association 1892

First-grade teams are listed in bold.

This was the first season the Brisbane Challenge Cup was competed for. No rules were set down for its competition which led to a dispute and the deciding match not being played.

In the contemporary newspapers of 1892, only the final two matches between the top two teams, Brisbane Athletic and Norman, were recognised as Challenge Cup matches.

However, in a retrospective article (Brisbane Telegraph 18/08/1923) all matches of Alloway FC were mentioned as being Challenge Cup matches. Certainly, these matches contributed to the determination of the top two teams.

For the results and table below, included are results of matches featuring the three Brisbane clubs and the three Ipswich-based teams that played against them. WMBFA Challenge Cup matches are excluded.
