year =1928

The competition was run on a regional basis, with five regional associations (Auckland, Wellington, Manawatu, Canterbury, and Otago) each holding separate qualifying rounds.

The final returned to the Basin Reserve, Wellington after an absence of one year - a venue which was used regularly until the 1970s.

Teams taking part in the final rounds are known to have included Auckland YMCA, St. Andrews (Manawatu), Northern (Dunedin), Hastings United, Petone, and Riccarton.

G. Jackson of Wellington became the first referee to referee two finals (he had previously refereed the 1927 final).
