The eight teams that took part include APR, Police, Rubavu, Gicumbi, ESI Kigoma, National University of Rwanda, Kigali Institute of Education and Nyakabanda.

In the women category, ESI Mukingi, from Gicumbi, won the trophy after beating four teams on a round-robin basis, including Duha Complex School, APAPEGI Cyuru and Saint Vincent Muhoza.
