The 1907–08 British Home Championship was an annual football competition played between the British Home Nations during the second half of the 1907–08 season. England and Scotland shared the title, having each beaten Wales and Ireland in their opening matches before drawing 1–1 with each other in the final game.
England began the strongest side, although all four teams played well in their opening games, both Ireland and Wales running their opponents close. In the second matches however, England and Scotland's quality told, as England beat Wales 7–1 in Wrexham and Ireland succumbed 5–0 in Dublin. In the final matches Ireland and Wales, playing for pride both fought hard, with Ireland clinching a 1–0 win while England and Scotland were unable to break the deadlock and so drew the game and competition, as goal difference was not at this stage used to differentiate teams.
