Annually recurring
chess competitions have usually been run during a “season” which
typically straddles two calendar years. Single-year dates below should
be interpreted as the ending year of the season concerned. Thus
“1885” means the season 1884-1885. Where a winner is underlined
it provides a link to that season’s event details.
* denotes that
the team won the trophy outright
