The British Home Amateur Championship or British Amateur Championship was an annual football competition contested between the United Kingdom's four amateur national teams: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (the last of whom competed as Ireland for the first three tournaments). Starting during the 1953–54 season, it was contested until the 1973–74 season, after which the Football Association abolished the amateur distinction.[2] From 1929 to 1953, an unofficial winner was declared by the press; during this time, Ireland and Wales did not meet regularly.[1]: 2
