1948 British Home Championship
- 1948 British Home Championship
1948 British Home Championship was the second edition of this annual football tournament to be played in the post-war period. It was conducted during the 1947/48 football season between the four Home Nations of the British Isles and resulted in a victory for England for the second year in a row.
England began the competition as they finished it, with a strong win over Wales in Cardiff, whilst Scotland were defeated 2-0 by Ireland in Belfast. The second round saw Scotland again defeated, this time by Wales at their home stadium in Glasgow. England meanwhile were held 2-2 by Ireland, leaving three teams still able to win at least a share in the trophy. In the final matches, Wales put an end to Ireland's hopes with a 2-0 victory but England managed to beat Scotland to clinch a whitewash of the Home Nations and the championship.
