The 1878–79 English football season was Aston Villa's 5th season, ten years before the creation of the Football League, and the year before the Football Club's first entry into the FA Cup draw. Originally team captains would consult each other in order to resolve any dispute on the pitch. This role was now delegated to an umpire. Each team would bring their own partisan umpire allowing the team captains to concentrate on the game. The Aston Villa Cricket Club commenced its season on 19 April with a victory over an all-England team. In June 1879, Birchfield Harriers held their first annual athletics meeting at the Aston Lower Grounds, attended by 4,000 despite the unfavourable weather. Villa's Tommy Pank placed first in the final heat of the one-mile bicycle handicap. Under captain George Ramsay, the six man Aston Villa Football Club lost to West Bromwich Gymnastics Club in the tug of war competition.
