București
Cupa Jean Luca P. Niculescu and Cupa Maior Zorileanu 1921
NB: most sources indicate that Tricolor played with their second team in Grupa A
and their first team in Grupa B; however, the Observator de Bacău reported
in 2011 that it was the other way round, suggesting Grupa A served as a first
and Grupa B as a second level competition (which would explain why the(?) cup
had two different names attached; in both 1919 and 1920 the spring league had
been played for the Cupa Jean Luca P. Niculescu; perhaps the teams in Grupa B
contested the Cupa Maior Zorileanu). In any case, both group winners played
off at the end of the season, with Tricolor (II?) winning the match but Venus
being declared champions by the federation (which would only make sense if
the set-up had indeed been one of two different levels).

Universitara withdrew after their match on May 15).

Venus II București n/p Tricolor II București
NB: presumably most matches for which no result is available were forfeited by
one or both clubs or declared void due to irrelevance (quite possibly both
Universitara II and Venus II withdrew at some stage).
Table (based on available results):
1.Tricolor II București 3 3 0 0 6- 1 6

3.Universitara II București 3 1 0 2 2- 3 2
4.Venus II București 2 0 0 2 0- 3 0
Final [Jun 12]
Tricolor II București 3-2 Venus București
NB: for unclear reasons (see above), Venus were declared champions by the federation;
in any case it appears to require a peculiar point of view to declare the winners
(or not) of a competition restricted to București national champions of 1920/21
given that the clubs from Transylvania were unquestionably stronger at the time.
