When placed in the context of their overseas tours to Europe in 1908 and 1909, this made a run of ten victories for the English side led by prolific goalscorer Vivian Woodward.

Wales, who were enjoying one of their most successful periods of international football, came second with two victories and Scotland finished third.

Wales and Scotland began their competition in March, the Welsh winning a close game in Wrexham 3–2.

Scotland's response was a 5–0 thumping of the Irish in a strong display of goalscoring ability.

In the final game, England needed only a draw to win the championship undisputed.
