From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This was the first women's European championship - albeit not an official FIRA competition - and the first multi-national women's competition of any sort. It was also the only occasion where a Great Britain side entered such a competition - in all future women's rugby competitions Britain would be represented by the four individual nations.

Unfortunately, although the results are now known, at present only the full scores from French matches have been traced.
