List of Clubs

Note that this list includes all clubs mentioned in this document (apart from a few referred to in connection with later events), including a number of foreign ones, but is not necessarily exhaustive.
The short versions of the names on the left hand side are used in this document; an additional indication of the home town is only included if a homonymous club from another town appears in the document as well.
The full names on the right hand side appeared at least once in contemporary publications but for most clubs other versions appeared as well: in particular, the words "voetbal" and "football" as well as "vereeniging" and "club" were often interchanged, sometimes apparently at random, and while nearly all early Dutch football clubs originated from an older cricket club, the "cricket" part was not always included in the name.
Additional information is most welcome.

All clubs in italics were members of the N.V.B. at least at some point during the season.

Administrative Developments

The season started on a bad note when the annual _Algemeene Vergadering_at Musis Sacrum, Velperplein, in Arnhem, on Sep 3, 1899, had to be cancelled because only twelve clubs had sent representatives, whereas the regulations required one quarter of the membership (56 clubs at the time) to be represented. Only two of the thirteen Eerste Klasse clubs (newly promoted Ajax from Leiden and local side Vitesse) had bothered to attend. The meeting was eventually held three weeks later at the same venue.
By the time of that second meeting, there had been a somewhat surprising addition to the membership, as S.O.K. from Medan(on Sumatra) had joined, apparently on the instigation of Willem Mulier, the first ever N.V.A.B. president, who had recently become the editor of the "Deli Courant", a local newspaper.
In contrast, long-standing members Victoria from Rotterdam resigned in October. Victoria had joined the federation in 1890 and had since become the first Dutch "yoyo" team: they had been promoted to the Eerste Klasse in 1891, were reprieved from relegation in 1893 in spite of losing all their league matches but failed to obtain re-election in 1894, immediately bounced back as _Tweede Klasse_champions in 1895 but went down again in 1897 and had finished last in their Tweede Klasse group in the previous season.

In January 1900 two new regional federations, those of Noord-Brabant and Zeeland, petitioned for official recognition from the N.V.B. and were granted that during the season. Meanwhile, the dominance of new entrants Velocitas in the Tweede Klasse of the southern Afdeeling 4 triggered a suggestion to include the southern champions in the promotion matches for the Eerste Klasse of Afdeeling 1; no action was taken on this, but after the cadets, who represented the Koninklĳke Militaire Academie (Royal Military Academy) in Breda, had won the Holdert-beker, the domestic cup tournament, they were eventually admitted to the _Eerste Klasse_of Afdeeling 1 for the 1900/01 season (by a board decision on Sep 15, 1900, which also promoted U.D.), in spite of opposition from Amsterdam and Haarlem, whose clubs did not relish the journey to Breda.

When it appeared increasingly likely that H.V.V. would win the championship and Velocitas the cup, an article in the Mar 3, 1900 issue of the "Nederlandsche Sport", presumably written by W. Coops, suggested to stage a "Super Cup" match between the two:_"Mocht de H.V.V. dan het kampioenschap, Velocitas den beker gewonnen hebben, eene eventueele ontmoeting zou dan zeer belangwekkend zĳn, eene waardige apotheose aan het eind van een welbesteed seizoen. Als er tenminste tĳd voor gevonden zal kunnen worden, wat wel te hopen, maar lang niet zeker is."_The author was decades ahead of his time: the first Dutch "Super Cup" match would be played nearly half a century later (in 1949, between S.V.V. and Quick (Nĳmegen), as a one-off; it would still take four more decades for the tournament to be established as a season opener, first in 1991), while the first edition of the English Charity Shield featuring the reigning league champions and F.A. cup winners was that of 1921, between champions Burnley and cup holders Tottenham Hotspur.

The season was closed by a general meeting on Jul 1, 1900 in Utrecht at "het Haagsche Koffiehuis", where the main item of discussion was the future organisation of the federation – in particular an extensive proposal by H.B.S. president Stokvis to decentralise it. This eventually was firmly rejected (11 votes in favour, 25 against).
Other items on the agenda were not discussed due to the duration of the above debate; these included changes to the regulations, suggested by the N.V.B. board, one stipulating that new members would in principle belong to the Derde Klasse (instead of the Tweede Klasse) and another introducing a "golden goal" rule for deciding matches at neutral venues ("Met dien verstande, dat de wedstrĳd op onzĳdig terrein een beslissing brengen moet en dus doorgespeeld zal worden tot een der partĳen een punt behaald heeft"). Another new regulation, warmly supported by the N.V.B. board, had been suggested by H.V.V. and R.A.P., both miffed after losing out on gate receipts because of the no shows of Sparta and H.F.C. towards the end of the season: "Komt een vereeniging meer dan tweemaal in hetzelfde seizoen niet op, dan wordt ze onherroepelĳk aan het begin van het volgende in een lagere competitie ingedeeld."
The relevant changes were eventually accepted at the continuation of the meeting on Sep 9, 1900 at the same venue.

Afdeeling 2 (Utrecht, Gelderland, Overĳssel)

NB: although Hercules had been promoted thanks to finishing second in the Test Matches of Afdeeling 2 at the end of the 1898/99 season, there was a discussion on whether they should not play in the Eerste Klasse of Afdeeling 1; this was settled by a vote at a board meeting on Oct 7, 1899 in Amsterdam, which accepted a proposal by president Warner to include them in Afdeeling 2 by 6 votes to 2 (1 abstention).

R.A.P. 2-1 E.D.O.
Volharding A. 3-3 Hercules U. [a1et; declared void] [2x7½ minutes of extra time played; the stipulated second period of 2x7½ minutes was not played due to darkness; as this was caused by the late arrival of Hercules (who had made a mistake with their train connection), the replay was not fixtured for Utrecht (as would normally have been the case after a draw) but at a neutral venue (Amersfoort, ground of Wilhelmina), contrary to the regulations; after it had emerged that the ground in Amersfoort would not be available and Volharding had filed a protest, the venue for the replay was changed to Amsterdam – on the evening of Nov 10; officially, the original match had not finished and thus was declared void]

[Nov 12, 1899; Amsterdam] Volharding A. awd Hercules U.

Visser; ref: J.L.F. de Meĳere] [Velocitas won the cup while playing in the Tweede Klasse; for the cup competition, they had obtained permission to field four of their members (all at the K.M.A. in Breda) who did not play for them in the league as they represented teams from the Eerste Klasse (De Groot (H.B.S.), Gerth van Wĳck (Haarlem), Du Cloux (H.F.C.) and Van Teĳn (Hercules)); their cup run, in which they had defeated three clubs from the Eerste Klasse (H.V.V., Ajax and Sparta) persuaded the N.V.B. to admit them to the Eerste Klasse in Afdeeling 1 for the 1900/01 season]

Tweede Klasse

Afdeeling 1 | Afdeeling 2 | Afdeeling 3 | Afdeeling 4

Afdeeling 1 (Noord- en Zuid-Holland)

NB: for this season the N.V.B. board came up with a complicated construction; first, six clubs (relegated side Rapiditas and the top-three of both groups (bar Ajax, who had been promoted) in the previous season) were identified as the strongest and placed in the "higher" 2e Klasse A; the remaining clubs were distributed over the "lower" 2e Klasse B and C, with a promotion/relegation system between the two levels (the winners of the groups B and C were to play off against each other for the right to challenge the bottom team of group A), implying groups B and C effectively formed the third level; however, for the current 1899/00 season (and only for that season), the winners of that play-off between the winners of groups B and C in addition were to play the champions of group A for the overall Tweede Klasse title in Afdeeling 1 and the right to play the bottom finishers in the Eerste Klasse in the Test Matches.

Brab. V.B. (Brabantsche Voetbal Bond)

On Dec 17, 1899, three clubs (G.V.V. (Ginneken, Breda), R.H.B.S. (Tilburg) and Wilhelmina (Den Bosch)) decided at a meeting in Tilburg to found the Brabantsche Voetbal Bond, effective as of Jan 1, 1900; a competition was started immediately. Former N.V.B. members E.V.C. joined within two weeks, while a club from Oss (presumably A.N.T.O.N.I.) was invited but declined to enter, considering itself too weak. The B.V.B. obtained recognition by the N.V.B. in the second week of February 1900.

International Activity

Although at the beginning of the season another visit of the "English Wanderers" side was discussed, and Southampton F.C. had planned a tour to the Netherlands around Christmas, eventually no English football team crossed the Channel. This may partially have been due to the ill-feeling towards Britain in the Netherlands caused by the Second Boer War, which had started in October 1899; Dutch public opinion was firmly on the side of the Boer Republics Transvaal and Oranje Vrĳstaat.
In October, Katendrecht intended to host the "Dresden Footballclub" (it is not certain to which of the existing football clubs in Dresden this referred, possibly the Neuer Dresdner F.C. founded in 1893) but that never happened; in January, H.V.V. received an invitation from Slavia to visit them in Prague but the negotiations on that did not lead to a match either.Instead there were a few low profile visits to the Netherlands by foreign clubs before the undisputed highlight of the international calendar this season, the first ever major international club tournament, held in Brussels during the Easter holidays in 1900.

First, early in the season, the Duisburger F.V. travelled to Arnhem to play Vitesse (whom they had already played home and away at the beginning of the year); the net profits of that match, like those of various league matches at the time, such as those between Ajax and Haarlem and between Sparta and R.A.P. two weeks earlier, were dedicated to support the Boer cause in Transvaal.

[Nov 12, 1899; Arnhem] Vitesse A. 10-0 Duisburger F.V.

Two months later, a student selection from Leuven visited Den Haag to play a Dutch student selection and local side H.V.V., who had invited them.

[Jan 20, 1900; Den Haag] Dutch Sudent XI 15-2 Leuven Student XI
[Dutch: H. Cramer; A. Adam, Bakker; A. van Waveren, J. Hupkes, R. Leegstra; K. Beukema, J. Hesselink, U.E. Verkerk, W. Hesselink, A. Broese van Groenou; Leuven: De Bossĳns; Lacroix, Verstraete; Ryan (c), Pelgrims, Donck; Copp�e, Mattuen, Beetz, L. de Croye-Solve, Claeys] [Pelgrims later captained the "Belgian" student XI (including one Dutch and one English player) at the "Olympic football tournament" in Paris on Sep 23, announced as the "internationale tentoonstelling-voetbalwedstrĳden" in the Sep 22 issue of the "Nederlandsche sport"]

[Jan 21, 1900; Den Haag] H.V.V. 5-0 Leuven Student XI

Then, one week after playing their last match in the _Eerste Klasse_in Afdeeling 2, in which they had finished third, Quick of Nĳmegen played a match in München-Gladbach, ten months after regional rivals Vitesse had done so.

[Mar 25, 1900; München-Gladbach] F.C. M.-Gladbach 0-6 Quick N.

Three weeks later, on Easter Sunday, Antwerp F.C., who had finished as runners-up in the Eerste Divisie A in Belgium after losing a play-off to new champions Racing C.B., crossed the border to receive a thrashing by local Tweede Klasse side N.O.A.D., in spite of fielding the Potts brothers.

[Apr 15, 1900; Breda] N.O.A.D. 7-1 Antwerp F.C.
[N.O.A.D.: Cramerus; Mann, J. v.d. Bent; Van Lawick, N. v.d. Bent, Pitlo; Vermeulen, Kilian, Wollenberg, W. Hordĳk, J. Hordĳk; Antwerp: Pex; Alb, Van Vriling; Voets, G. Robĳns, Servais; J. Robĳns, Grisar, H. Potts, W. Potts, Box]

Far more importantly, that same Easter Sunday saw the start of the first ever major international club tournament, held in Brussels over the Easter days for the Coupe Van der Straeten Ponthoz.
Two Dutch clubs, 1898/99 champions R.A.P and H.V.V., who had already secured the title in the Eerste Klasse in Afdeeling 1 but were still to play Victoria of Wageningen, champions of Afdeeling 2, for the overall title, entered the tournament and met in the final, H.V.V. after easily defeating hosts L�opold C.B. and the second side of Racing C.B., R.A.P. after narrowly eliminating the champions of both Belgium (Racing C.B.) and Switzerland (Grasshopper Club). In the all-Dutch final, R.A.P. prevailed.

[Apr 15, 1900; Brussel] Racing C.B. 1-2 R.A.P.
L�opold C.B. 1-8 H.V.V.

[Apr 16, 1900; Brussel] Racing C.B. II 0-3 H.V.V.
Grasshopper Club 2-3 R.A.P.

[Apr 17, 1900; Brussel] R.A.P. 2-1 H.V.V.

NB: for further details, see the page on the Coupe Van der Straeten Ponthoz 1900.

After the tournament, the Swiss champions visited the Netherlands.

[Apr 18, 1900; Den Haag] H.V.V. 7-1 Grasshopper Club

[Apr 19, 1900; Leiden] Ajax 8-1 Grasshopper Club

[Apr 22, 1900; Arnhem] Vitesse A. 6-0 Grasshopper Club
