The Montreal Shamrocks, formerly the Crystals, captured the 1899 CAHL title. The key game was a 1-0 victory over the Montreal Victorias in front of 8,000 fans in the brand new Montreal (Westmount) Arena. Harry Trihey scored the lone goal, which gave the Shamrocks a 7-1-0 record on the season to the Victorias' mark of 6-2-0. By defeating the defending champions for their own league title, the Shamrocks won the Stanley Cup, which they successfully defended against Queen's University. Trihey of the Irish netted a hat trick, and Arthur Farrell posted two more in the 6-2 victory.
