The championship began with a home victory of Wales over Ireland with a score of 5: 2. The England team was to play next against these teams, but the extremely tight schedule of domestic competitions did not leave suitable dates for the matches. In this regard, the Football Association of England decided to play both matches on the same day, forming two different teams. A team of professional players from the country's northern clubs played against Ireland, while a mixed team of professionals and amateurs opposed Wales. Both teams achieved confident victories with a total score of 12: 2, as a result of which England took first place in the table. A favorite of the competition, the Scottish team, who played after England, also won devastating victories over the Welsh and Irish, catching up with the British on points. Thus, the fate of the title was to be decided in the final game of the championship between England and Scotland. The match, in which a new world attendance record was set, was very intense and dramatic, but as a result of victory neither team managed to achieve victory. The draw 1: 1 recorded in the match made both teams champions.
