Report
The Junior Quebec Rugby Football Union was one of two Canadian Football Junior Leagues in Quebec for the period 1902 to 1905, with the Quebec Independent Junior Football league being the other. The Champions of the two Leagues played a Provincial Championship Series between them.
The winners of the JQRFU from 1900 to 1906 were McGill University FC III (1900), Britannia III FC (1901), Westmount II Rugby Club (1902, 1903), Montreal AAA III (1904, 1906), Quebec City Jrs (1905). of interest to Irish readers in the appearance of Montreal Shamrocks Rugby Club who played from 1900 to 1904, getting better as the years progressed.
The Canadian Junior Football League has been running Amateur Province-based Championships for players aged 18-23 since 1887, under various names (Canadian Rugby Union, Canadian Junior Football League). In Canada Gridiron Football was known as Rugby until the Canadian Football League split away from the Canadian Rugby Union in 1958 to form its own Professional League and adopt more American Football Rules. The sport has been known as Canadian Football since. (For more on Canadian Football history see: Canadian Football Leagues
