1914 British Home Championship

The competition was played between January and April 1914 and won by Ireland with a team that included Patrick O’Connell, Billy Gillespie, Val Harris, Louis Bookman, Samuel Young and Bill Lacey.

1914 was the first time Ireland won the competition outright. The Irish had been the tournaments poorest performers over the years, but the previous year had demonstrated potential in beating England for the first time in a 2-1 win at Windsor Park. Ireland began the 1914 tournament beating Wales 2-1 a in Wrexham on January 19 and then demolished England in England for the first time, winning 3-0 at Ayresome Park in Middlesbrough. Ireland clinched the title on March 16 following a 1-1 draw with Scotland at Windsor Park while England's away victory over Wales did not salvage their poor campaign as Scotland would eventually finish as runners up, beating England 3-1 at Hampden Park. It would be six years before the trophy was again contested, and it would be with substantially different teams and in a different, increasingly global era of footall.
