The 1903–04 British Home Championship football tournament was a low-scoring affair, won by a powerful England side who were followed by the unfancied Irish in second place.

The tournament was played during the second half of the British domestic season and was, for the time, low-scoring.

England began well, with a hard-fought draw with Wales and a 3–1 victory over Ireland in their opening games.

The Irish recovered from their early loss in their draw with Scotland and managed to beat the Welsh 1–0 in Bangor to claim second place.

This was the first time in tournament history that either England or Scotland finished below second place.
