1901 Toronto Argonauts season
The 1901 Toronto Argonauts season was the club's 16th season of organized league competition since its inception in 1873. By virtue of finishing in first place in the senior series of the Ontario Rugby Football Union with five wins and one loss, the team won the Argos' third ORFU title, the first for the club since 1884. The Argonauts were beaten in the Dominion championship game in Montreal by Ottawa College, but only after a 12–12 tie forced a replay one week later, which Ottawa won.
