A draw with Scotland and a win over England, their first since 1882, in the 1919–20 tournament secured the second Home Championship in Wales' history.

The Wales national football team represents Wales in international association football and is governed by the Football Association of Wales (FAW).

Wales came within one match of winning the tournament in the 1980–81 season.
