Australia, New Zealand and Trinidad and Tobago shared the title as there were no finals, instead the top 10 teams playing off in a round robin. Each of the top three teams won eight out of nine matches, losing once, to one of the other two: New Zealand defeated Trinidad and Tobago 49–33; Trinidad and Tobago defeated Australia 40–38; and Australia defeated New Zealand 38–36. The tournament rules of the time did not provide a way of determining an outright winner under the circumstances, so the three teams shared the title.[2]
