Note 1: Abbreviations in the results for matches where the result is known, but the score is unavailable: W = Won; D = Drew; L = Lost; U = No record of result or if the match was played.

Note 2: NOT COUNTED - Reported as forfeit as Royals were unable to raise a full team. A friendly match was played, Royals won 2-1 (Brisbane Courier 04/05/1903). These teams played twice more during the regular season, so this forfeit result must have been annulled.

Note 3: Postponed from 23/05/1903 due to an intercity match vs. Toowoomba 23/05/1903 in Toowoomba (a rugby match). Subsequent date of this match is unknown. Result inferred as per Note 4.

Note 4: Result inferred because Dinmore Bush Rats was equal on points with Eskgrove prior to the Play-off Match (Brisbane Courier 31/08/1903).

Note 5: Ipswich Royals vs. Dinmore Bush Rats was postponed from 27/06/1903 'owing to the death of a resident footballer of Dinmore' (Qld Times 04/07/1903), and subsequently played on 15/08/1903.
