World War II commenced in Europe in September 1939, and had spread to the Pacific in December 1941. The Association had continued with a full program of football in the 1940 and 1941 seasons – with the sole exception that Sandringham had competed as an amateur club in the latter season[1] – but had cancelled the 1942 season when it became clear that the competition would distract from the war effort.[2]
By 1943, the state of war had not changed, and the Association decided on 22 February that it would not resume the premiership for the season.[3] The Association premiership would not again be staged until 1945.
