British Home Championship

Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

An annual association football competition contested between the national teams of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, later Northern Ireland, from 1884 to 1984, the oldest international football tournament, played as a round robin of home and away fixtures each season and decided on points, with England and Scotland winning most titles outright or shared; it was discontinued after the 1983-84 season because of declining interest, fixture congestion and crowd trouble.
What it is for: Not applicable; a historical competition.
