1911 British Home Championship


The 1910-11 British Home Championship was an international football tournament played between the British Home Nations.

Scotland and Wales followed with another point between them above Ireland who failed to gain a single point and only scored two goals.

In the final game between England and Scotland a win for either side would gain them the championship but England would also win with a draw, a result they achieved at home in Liverpool.
