Ireland Wales Rugby
y is there northern ireland & ireland football team while the rugby team is one,y is not england/wales cricket
just would like to know the history or reasoning, or how these came about
ie why is the team called england when it really is england and wales
When every the country was split by the Brits in 1921 the soccer federation of Ireland also split with Northern Ireland having the IFA and the Republic of Ireland the FAI.
All other sports in Ireland have a whole Ireland team as there leagues are basied on the Island. The rugby league is and all Ireland league. If they unified the two soccer teams then they would have to unify the League system and this means less money from Uefa.
