The Celtic Cup is an international wheelchair rugby league tournament contested annually by Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

The Ireland, Scotland and Wales teams were all established in 2012 and played their first international matches at the Four Nations competition that year before taking part in the World Cup in 2013.

[1][2][3] The Celtic Cup was established to provide an opportunity for international matches beyond these tournaments, initially between Ireland and Scotland in 2015, and with Wales in 2016.

Wales won both of their matches defeating Ireland 76–26 and Scotland 92–22 to win the cup for the first time.

Wales, who were hosting an international wheelchair rugby league tournament for the first time, began their title defence with a 112–41 win over Scotland.

Wales dominated the tournament scoring centuries in each of their games, firstly against Scotland 102-10 and then Ireland 109–8, to take a fourth consecutive title.

In the final match Wales won 116–6 setting a new record for their biggest win and claiming a sixth Celtic Cup.

It was also their first Celtic Cup match that they had not won and meant they needed to win by 35 points against Scotland in the final game of the tournament.
