The 1945–46 British Victory Home Championship was played during the 1945–46 football season between the national football teams of the four Home Nations of the British Isles. It was won by Scotland. Staged very soon after the end of World War II hostilities, the matches are not regarded as full internationals and are referred to as Victory Internationals.
