The 1906 American Cup was the fifteenth edition of the soccer tournament organized by the American Football Association. After being inactive for several years, the AFA reorganized in February 1906 with eight initial entries from the New Jersey towns of Harrison, Paterson, Kearyn, and Newark.[1] At their February 13 meeting at the Caledonian House in Paterson it was decided to send additional invitations to Metropolitan league teams.[2] On February 17 at the Cosmopolitan Park House in East Newark Hal A. Holden of Kearny was elected president, Harry Craig of Paterson as treasurer, Peter Martin(Bronx Rangers) as vice-president, Herbert Turner of Paterson as recording secretary, James Allen Jr. of O.N.T. as financial secretary and Dr. John W. Reid as honorary president.[3][4][5] On February 24, exhibition games between the West Hudsons of Harrison and Pan Americans of Fall River coincided with the association meeting at Cosmopolitan Hall in order to have a representative, in this case C.C. Murphy, present for New England clubs wishing to join the tournament. On this occasion four additional teams from the Metropolitan district joined bringing the total to twelve. Entries were open until March 3.[6] John Swithenby who was in possession of the old trophy donated it to the association to once again award it to the winner of the tournament.[7][8]

First round

edit

The first round draw took place at the AFA meeting in Swithenby's Hotel on Saturday March 3, 1906.[11] On Wednesday March 6 at Ford's Hall in Kearny the association met to select the referees for the first round matches and were scheduled to reconvene at Evan's Hall in Kearny on March 19 at the close of the first round.[12][13] Bronx Rangers, Riverside, and Scottish Americans drew byes. The Celtic-O.N.T. match was protested because the referee had the teams play ten minutes extra time each way after a regulation tie. The game was ordered replayed because that rule had not passed the sanction of the AFA.

New England Cup Tie Series

edit

There was growing interest in New England for a cup tournament.[40] Randolph Howarth, manager of the Rovers and president of the Inter state league was notified by AFA president Holden of an upcoming meeting regarding the reforming of the American Cup tournament.[41] Pan American manager C.C. Murphy had traveled to Newark and was informed that his team can join the AFA tournament provided seven other clubs join as well.[42] The most that could be secured in short notice were five teams.[43] Mr. Howarth needed more time to round up the remaining teams. A meeting was called for by AFA secretary Herbert Turner to inform the New England representatives of the rules, regulations and by-laws of the organization. The meeting was scheduled for 8PM on Thursday March 8 at the rooms of the City Football league on Quequechan street in Fall River. However word was received late Thursday afternoon that the AFA met on Wednesday and decided because it was too late in the season, they would continue without the New England teams as they were beginning the first round a few days later on March 11. It was then decided by the members of the Fall River meeting to continue to conduct a tournament apart from the AFA and call themselves the New England Association Cup-Tie League. The officers elected were William Allan of Pawtucket as president, Nat Frazer of Boston as vice-president, Randolph Howarth of Fall River as secretary, and C.C. Murphy Jr. of Fall River as treasurer.[44]
