Notes:
After Ireland had lost its previous four full "A" internationals, the Irish football association (IFA) decided to rely more strongly on its professional players in England. Therefore, on 10th February 1912 the Irish national team fielded for the first time in Dublin against England nine (!) footballers who played abroad; this side nevertheless lost (1:6), and "Mickey" Hamill from Manchester United scored the consolation goal.
