1948 Five Nations Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1948 Five Nations Championship was held between Thursday, January 1 and Monday, March 29, 1948, with ten international matches held between England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

After the series, Ireland were deemed to be the championship winners, having won all four of their games, resulting in a Grand Slam. This was Ireland's first, and to date only, Grand Slam victory. By virtue of beating the other three Home Nations (England, Scotland and Wales), Ireland also won the Triple Crown, this being Ireland's third title.
