The 1899 English Club Championship was awarded to Princes Ice Hockey Club. It was the first title in their history.[1]

According to the Glimpses of English Ice Hockey History section of Peter Patton's Ice Hockey (1936) book, there were "Similar matches to previous season, and also a match at Brighton on January 4th, 1899, when Princes lost 4-2 to the home team at the circular rink in that town" during the 1898-99 season.[2]

Other matches played this season included Niagara 5 - London Garrison 1 on November 26, Niagara 3 - Princes 1 on December 10, and Niagara 3 - The Old Wellington Team 2 at the Niagara Ice Rink in January.

Patton's book states that Princes won the Club Championship, but there are no contemporary sources that state this.
