Report
The Champions of the Junior Quebec Rugby Football Union (Canadian Football) between 1890 and 1899 were McGill University FC III (1890, 1891, 1893), Montreal AAA III (1892, 1894, 1896, 1898), Quebec City Rugby Club II (1895, 1899), Britannia II FC (1897)
The Canadian Junior Football League has been running Amateur Province-based Championships 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
