The Victory Shield is an annual football tournament competed for by the under-16 teams of Scotland, Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales. The Victory Shield had traditionally been competed for by the four Home Nations, but the Football Association withdrew the England team from the tournament "for the foreseeable future" in 2015.[1] The competition was continued after England's withdrawal, with the Republic of Ireland taking their place.[2] The competition was competed by under-15 teams until 2001, when switching to under-16 to fall in line with UEFA competitions.[3]
