The 1971-72 British Home Championship was the first such Home Nations football tournament (although not the last), to suffer during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, when death threats from the Provisional Irish Republican Army were sent to the Scottish Football Association and Scottish players who were scheduled to play at Windsor Park.
 The surge in anti-British feeling which prompted these threats followed Bloody Sunday in January, and also resulted in the cancellation of the rugby union 1972 Five Nations Championship.
 As a result, Northern Ireland's home fixture was rescheduled to Hampden Park, effectively granting the Scottish team an extra home match.
 This was not the last time that The Troubles would interfere with the Home Championship; the 1981 British Home Championship would have to be abandoned following similar heightened tension after the death of Bobby Sands.
The 1959-60 British Home Championship football tournament was played by the British Home Nations throughout the 1959–60 season and was shared between three of the competing teams at the expense of Ireland.
 Football at the United Kingdom was at a low point in 1959 and 1960, following the failure of the national sides (except Wales and Ireland), to perform well in the 1958 FIFA World Cup two years before.
 A part of the problem involved the deaths of senior members of all four national sides at the Munich air disaster in early 1958.
 England had also suffered a further loss of confidence following poor form in a pre-season tour of the Americas, losing three games in a row to Brazil, Peru 4–1 and Mexico.
 An 8–1 victory over a weak United States in the final match did little to raise their spirits.
The Home Nations, or Home Countries, refers collectively to England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland (countries of the United Kingdom), and in certain sports (e.g. Rugby football) contexts, to England, Scotland, Wales and the whole island of Ireland.
 The term "Home Nations" is used in this second sense partly because Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have a unified association structure in certain sports, such as the Irish Rugby Football Union.
 Formerly the phrase was applied in general in this same wider sense, such as the period between 1800 and 1922, before the political partition of Ireland, when the whole island was part of the United Kingdom.
 The term "Home Countries" (not to be confused with the "home counties") is also sometimes used, and is synonymous.
The 1975-76 British Home Championship was a football tournament played between the British Home Nations at the end of the 1975–76 season.
 It resulted in an outright Scottish victory following a rare whitewash of all three opponents, including England in a tough final at home in Glasgow.
 Scotland again refused to travel to Northern Ireland and therefore gained an additional home match.
 The Scottish team of the middle of the 1970s was one of the best sides the nation has ever fielded, being the only British team to qualify for a major championships between 1971 and 1980.
 They began well, beating Wales, who also lost to England in the early exchanges.
 Both title contenders then inflicted heavy defeats on Northern Ireland and both went into the final match looking for a win, as a draw would result in a disappointing tie for first place.
 The match was full of incident, but the Scots eventually ran out 2–1 winners, taking the cup outright for the first time since the 1967 British Home Championship, when England were World Champions.
 The Welsh gained some consolation, defeating Northern Ireland in their final match to take third place.
The 1904-05 British Home Championship was an international football tournament between the British Home Nations.
 It was competed in the second half of the 1904–05 football season and saw England win the championship for the third time in a row with two victories and a draw.
 Wales, despite losing to England, came in second as part of a strong run which would result in victory at the 1907 British Home Championship.
 Scotland and Ireland came joint third with two points a piece.
1949–50 British Home Championship was one of the most significant competitions of the British Home Championship football tournament.
 This year saw the competition doubling up as Group 1 in the qualifying rounds for the 1950 FIFA World Cup.
 It was the first time that either England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland (IFA) had entered a World Cup competition.
 It was also a significant moment in the history of Irish football as it was the last time that the (Northern) Irish Football Association entered a team featuring players born in both Northern Ireland and what is now the Republic of Ireland.
The 1978-79 British Home Championship was a British Home Nations competition, won by the English football side and notable for seeing marked increases in hooliganism and falling attendance which would result in its cancellation in 1984.
 The English started well, beating Northern Ireland to match the heavy Welsh victory over Scotland on the same day, which featured a hat trick by John Toshack.
 Scotland recovered by beating the Irish in their next match while England and Wales played out a goalless draw, leaving three sides theoretically capable of winning the Championship in the final round.
 Wales could only manage a draw with the Irish and so in the deciding match between England and Scotland, a 1–1 half time score gave the Scots some hope but a strong second half performance from England was rewarded with a deserved 3–1 win.
 This result gave England the Championship, with Wales in second place.
 The tournament also saw the introduction of goal difference to separate teams, although it had no effect on the eventual outcome.
The 1981-82 British Home Championship between the British Home Nations was won by a dominant England football team which won all three of its matches as the tournament returned after being abandoned in 1981 due to civil disturbances in Northern Ireland.
 The championship was eagerly awaited because for the first time since 1958, three of the Home Nations were featuring in a World Cup; the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain and this was a chance to see them in competitive action before the World Cup began.
 The end-of-season format that had been used throughout the 1970s was dropped as it was felt three games in eight days was too intense at the end of a season and prior to a World Cup.
 The English began impressively with a heavy victory over Northern Ireland at home, followed by victory away in Wales.
 The Scots could only manage a draw with the disappointing Irish by contrast although they did beat Wales.
 The Welsh managed to salvage a result in their third game with a 3–0 defeat of Northern Ireland to claim third place.
 In the final deciding match in Glasgow, England edged victory through a Paul Mariner goal and thus claimed the championship.
 In the World Cup, Scotland were eliminated in the first round whilst England went out in the second round without losing a game.
 The unfancied Irish however provided a shock by beating hosts Spain and eliminating Yugoslavia in the first round before falling victim to the inspired French in round two.
The 1982-83 British Home Championship was the penultimate in the series of football tournaments between the British Home Nations which stretched back 99 years to 1884.
 In 1983 England and then Scotland announced their withdrawal from future competition after the 1984 competition with the arrangement of the Rous Cup between the two nations to eliminate Wales and Northern Ireland, who were seen as weaker opposition.
 The 1983 tournament was a tight contest, which England won with a final victory at home over Scotland following an opening victory over Wales and a draw in Belfast.
 The game at Wembley was played in midweek in an attempt to curb the large number of travelling Scottish supporters.
 The Scots came second with a win over Wales and a draw with Northern Ireland off-setting their final day defeat.
 The Welsh succumbed to goal difference as the points system then in use meant that the Irish, who had drawn twice and lost once without scoring themselves gained the same number of points for a smaller goal difference despite Wales' victory over them in their final game.
The 1936-37 British Home Championship was a football tournament played between the British Home Nations during the 1936–37 seasons.
 The trophy was won by Wales with Scotland coming second.
 This was the last Home Championship that Wales would win exclusively, all subsequent victories would be shared with one of the other Home Nations.
 Wales began the competition by beating England and followed it with a similar 2–1 victory against Scotland.
 With the two favourites beaten Wales only required a draw with Ireland to complete a rare tournament success.
 They ultimately took the title in style, winning 4–1 at home.
 Scotland recovered from their loss to Wales in their final game with a commanding 3–1 victory over England in Glasgow to come second, whilst England's only points came from their own 3–1 defeat of the disappointing Irish.
