Final round
The final round was scheduled to be played from February 12-16, 1939, in Bucharest, at the Patinoarul Otetelesanu. The owners of the rink closed the facility to protest the increase on electricity taxes.
As the weather warmed up, organizing the championship on natural ice was not possible, and a Romanian champion was not crowned in 1939.
