1906 Home Nations Championship
Encyclopedia
The 1906 Home Nations Championship was the twenty-fourth series of the rugby union Home Nations Championship
. Six matches were played between 13 January and 17 March. It was contested by England
, Ireland
, Scotland
and Wales
.
The 1906 Championship was little more than a footnote to the 1906 season, overshadowed by the excitement and excellence of the Original All Blacks, who had almost completed an "invincible" tour of the British Isles. This was to be followed in late 1906 by the first Springbok tour. The South Africans lacked the tactical finesse of the New Zealand team but they brought new standards of fitness, physique and blistering running pace.
The 1906 season is normally classified as a draw, but technically is given to Ireland as they scored the highest in-game points, despite a worse points difference than Wales.
Although not officially part of the tournament until 1910, a match was arranged with the French national team
which was played during the Championship against England. This was the first encounter between France and England.

was reduced from four to three points this season. Penalty goals were worth three points.
