The second edition was held between November 13 and December 16, 1910 at the Berliner Eispalast. BFC Preussen defeated Berliner SC 2-1 in the final, amid some controversy. The referee, who generally served as a football official and was a hockey novice, disallowed a goal scored by Berliner SC, reversing his previous call that the goal counted. He originally stated that the goal had not crossed the line, and thus should not count. Then, in a surprising move, the first half was played for 15 minutes and 20 seconds, instead of the usual time.
