The Irish Football Team

The team mostly played games in the British Home Championship against the other British nations (England, Scotland and Wales).
Following the independence of Ireland, the team continued to exist parallel to the Team of the Republic of Ireland, football players choosing Ireland as a whole. This team no longer exists, due to its transformation into the Northern Ireland Football team selecting only players from Northern Ireland

To this Irish team has succeeded in the texts and on the charts, the current team of IFA, that is to say, the Northern Ireland football team.
