The 1895 Home Nations Championship was the thirteenth series of the rugby union Home Nations Championship. Six matches were played between 5 January and 16 March. It was contested by England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Scotland won all their three matches to win the championship outright for the fourth time (excluding two other titles shared with England), and completed the Triple Crown for the second time.
The matches for this season were decided on points scored. A try was worth three points, while converting a kicked goal from the try gave an additional two points. A dropped goal and a goal from mark were both worth four points. Penalty goals were worth three points.
Wales: Billy Bancroft (Swansea), Tom Pearson (Cardiff), Owen Badger (Llanelli), Arthur Gould (Newport) (capt.), William Llewellyn Thomas (Newport), Selwyn Biggs (Cardiff), Ben Davies (Llanelli), Tom Graham (Newport), Arthur Boucher (Newport), Wallace Watts (Newport), Jim Hannan (Newport), Tom Jackson (Swansea), Charles Nicholl (Llanelli), Frank Mills (Cardiff), William Elsey (Cardiff)
