The1935–36British Home Championship was afootball tournament played between the BritishHome Nations during the 1935–36 season. It was won byScotland after a close contest between Scotland, Wales andEngland. England began the tournament the stronger team, with a 3–1 win overIreland inBelfast while Scotland struggled to a 1–1 draw withWales. Scotland recovered to beat Ireland in their second match whilst England dropped position after defeat by Wales. Wales and Ireland played a tough, high-scoring game which might have given Wales the title, but was ultimately won by the Irish, whilst Scotland came toLondon knowing that only a win would be enough to give them the trophy. In a furious attacking game the result; 1–1, was enough to give Scotland an undisputed tournament success.
