England retained the Home Internationals during a rain-soaked encounter at Southport and Birkdale Croquet Club

Final Positions

Position Team Matches Rubbers Unfinished Rubbers Games
1 England 3 9 2 22
? Ireland 1.5 7 1 14
? Wales 1 8 0 20
4 Scotland 0.5 3 3 5

England win the Home Internationals with three match wins. As a consequence of the unstarted rubber between Healy (Ireland) and Spalding (Scotland), the positions of Ireland and Wales cannot be determined. Scotland are finish last regardless of unfinished games.
