Nations Cup (football)
The Nations Cup (also called 4 Associations' Tournament or Celtic Cup)〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DATES ANNOUNCED FOR 4 ASSOCIATIONS’ TOURNAMENT IN DUBLIN 2011 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dates announced for 4 Associations' Tournament in Dublin 2011 )〕 was an association football tournament involving the national teams of Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It was contested once, in 2011. It was originally intended to be a biennial tournament, but poor attendance at the first tournament meant that it was discontinued.
== History ==
The tournament was initially proposed by then Northern Ireland manager Lawrie Sanchez in 2006. On 18 September 2008, the national football associations of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland announced plans to hold an international tournament in 2011.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/7623975.stm Celtic nations to play 2011 event.〕 The tournament was due to start in 2009, but was delayed until 2011 due to 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixtures already being in place.
It was announced on 12 August 2010 that the tournament would be sponsored by brewing company Carling, and known for sponsorship reasons as the Carling Nations Cup.〔 The inaugural tournament was played at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in February and May 2011, and won by the Republic of Ireland. A second tournament was provisionally scheduled to take place in Wales in 2013. After the first tournament, which attracted some small attendances, there was a dispute about the division of revenues between the four associations.〔 Jim Shaw, the president of the Irish Football Association, said in January 2012 that he did not envisage a second tournament being staged.〔
