The league competition, which started in the Previous season, finished during the season. Maccabi Tel Aviv won the inaugural Israeli championship. Maccabi Nes Tziona finished bottom of the league and was due to be relegated. However, as disagreement broke out between the Hapoel and Maccabi factions in the IFA, the next league season didn't start until fall 1951, the club's relegation, which was part of the disagreement, wasn't confirmed until mid-1951.
