Overview

edit

This season the Cup of the Alps was played as a league tournament with four teams from Switzerland and four teams from Italy. Each team played four games against the teams from the other country. The teams did not play compatriots. This year there was no cup final, the league leader was the cup winner. The tournament was not held the previous year, 1965. Therefore, the defending champions would have been Genoa from the 1964 edition, but they did not compete this year.
