By winning all 3 three matches in Ontario, Glasgow won the Canadian Tri-Continental Tournament.

Scottish Inter-District Championship

Still with only Glasgow and Edinburgh remaining as professional teams in Scotland, the Tri-Series was ran again. This time however the tournament had no sponsor as Tennents had pulled out of the competition.

The first tie of the Tri-Series was held jointly with the Welsh-Scottish League. The match is shown below for convenience, however since it is also a Welsh-Scottish League match and is included in those statistics, only 2 matches for the Scottish Inter-District Championship are recorded for statistical purposes.

1999-2000 League Table

Only for completeness. The Tri-Series was run as a best of three.
