A round-robin format was used, with the top two teams proceeding to the final. England was undefeated in the round-robin stage and beat Denmark by 179 runs in the final, winning the championship for the third time in a row. The tournament was marked by low scoring, with the seven matches yielding only two individual half-centuries and one team score over 200.
