year =1952
date =August 30
venue=Basin Reserve, Wellington

The competition was run on a regional basis, with regional associations each holding separate qualifying rounds.

Teams taking part in the final rounds are known to have included North Shore United, Napier High School Old Boys, Wanganui United, Masterton Athletic, Kiwi United (Manawatu), Seatoun (Wellingtton), Woodbourne (Marlborough), Western (Christchurch), and Roslyn-Wakari (Dunedin).

The final was drawn 1-1, and with no goals scored in extra time and the number of corners taken being equal (this being the method used to determine the winner in ties at the time), it was declared that the two fiinalists would share the trophy. This was the only time this occurred - replays were used to settle tied finals thereafter, with the first replay being played in the 1970 final.
