Celtic Cup For 2009
Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland football associations have agreed "in principle" to play a series of three biennial Celtic Cup tournaments, starting in 2009.
The competition will be arranged on a league basis, with home and away games rotated from one tournament to the next, with each team playing three matches in each of the competitions.
England have declined to participate in any such "home" tournament - the annual fixtures- which made up a Home Championship, which included England but not the Republic of Ireland, was last staged in 1984.
