The competition took place in Glasgow, apart from one semi-final between Everton and Rangers played at Goodison Park in Liverpool, the replay for which took place at Celtic Park where Celtic had also played Sunderland. The final, played at the first Cathkin Park, was won 3–2 by Celtic against Rangers after extra time, with the winning goal coming so late that many newspapers reported that the result was a 2–2 draw. The event was held near to the accession date of King Edward VII and due to its Britain-wide scope was also referred to as the 'Coronation Cup' in some sources. The final was held six weeks after the semi-finals with the intention to play it as close as possible to the coronation ceremony event, but this was delayed until the August after Edward fell ill.
