The tournament was won by Griqualand West for the third time; they beat Northern Transvaal 11–9 in the final in Kimberley. Winger Buddy Swartz scored two tries for Griqualand West in the final, becoming the first player in Currie Cup final history to score more than one try, while flanker Peet Smit kicked a penalty from inside his own half.
