Six matches were played between 5 January and 18 March. It was contested by England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.The 1899 Championship was won by Ireland who also took the Triple Crown. This was the fourth time Ireland had won the tournament and the second occasion they had achieved the Triple Crown, but would be Ireland's last success for some time; they would not win the title outright again until 1935 and their next Triple Crown came in 1948. The Irish success was down to an extremely strong defence with the Irish team conceding just a single penalty in the match against Scotland. The penalty itself was unprecedented as it was awarded for a tackle on a player who did not have the ball, the first time such a penalty had been given in an international game. The 1899 championship was notable for the beginning of a period of underperformance for the English team; winning just seven of the next thirty three championship matches."@en }
