The first-round tie between Egypt and Turkey was held in Cairo, marking the first time that a tie had been played on the African continent.
The United States defeated Mexico in the Americas Zone final, and Sweden defeated France in the Europe Zone final. In the Inter-Zonal Zone, the USA defeated Sweden. The USA defeated defending champions Australia in the Challenge Round, ending Australia's four-year run at the top. The final was played at White City Stadium in Sydney, Australia on 27–29 December.
