Triple Crown Trophy

Despite the history of the Triple Crown there had never been a permanent trophy produced until 2006.
The Trophy is a silver dish measuring 42cm wide and 5cm deep and weighing a hefty three kilos. The Trophy was produced by Hamilton and Inches of Edinburgh and took over four months to make.

  • The four Home Unions have been competing against each other for 125 years, since the first international between England and Wales in 1882
