2 Following the partition of Ireland in 1920, both the Belfast based IFA and the Dublin based FAI referred to themselves as Ireland until Fifa intervened in 1953, ruling that neither team could be referred to as Ireland in competitions which both teams were eligible to enter. The Belfast based IFA continued to use Ireland in the British Home Championships until the early 1970s
As in 1950, the Home Championships served as a qualifying group for the World Cup with the top two teams qualifying for the 1954 Fifa World Cup in Switzerland.
