History

Early tests

England made their Test debut on 7 May 1949 during a series that also featured Scotland and Wales. Both matches were played at the General Electric Company ground on Preston Road, Wembley. England won both matches 25–3. The match against Scotland is believed to be England's first international.[1][2][3][4][5] In 1954, England played Northern Ireland for the first time.[5] On 12 May 1956, England hosted a touring Australia. It was the first time England played an overseas team. Australia won 14–11 at Harringay Arena before a crowd of more than 5,000.[5][6][7][8][9] Later in 1956, England played an away series against South Africa, winning all three tests.[5][10]
