Rugby Football (“rugger”) is played under the auspices of the Rugby Football Union, established in 1871. The rules of the game are completely different from those that govern soccer, and there are 15 players, instead of 11, in a side. International matches between England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and France are played regularly at the leading rugby football grounds of each country, including Twickenham, London - the headquarters of the Rugby Football Union - and there are tours by international teams to and from New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Other important rugger matches are the county championship competitions, the annual match between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the Hospitals’ Cup final, and the Inter-Service tournament.

Although football of a kind was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, as an organized game it dates from just over a century ago. One type of football, in which only the feet are used, was adopted at Cambridge in 1848; the other type, in which the ball is handled as well as kicked, was first played at Rugby School, whence it derives its name, and was adopted by the Blackheath football club in 1859.
The principal professional matches in England and Wales (played once or twice weekly) are controlled by the Football League, which comprises over 90 professional clubs in these countries.

Cricket is often called the English national game. The exact date of its origin is not recorded, but it is known that the game was played at Guildford Grammar School during the 16th century, and by the beginning of the 18th century it was popular both in the villages of England and on the larger country estates. The game has been played more or less as it is played today since the adoption of a generally accepted set of laws in 1744.

In England cricket is played in schools and universities, and almost all towns and villages have their cricket teams which play at least one match a week from May to September; in the London area a large number of pitches are provided by the local authorities besides many leased or owned by clubs.
Apart from the university match between Oxford and Cambridge and certain representative games, the greater part of first-class cricket is played in a county championship between 17 “first-class counties”.
In addition to county championships, matches known as “test matches” are played regularly between a number of Commonwealth countries. Present-day test matches last 30 hours (spread over five or six days); they arouse great popular interest and are widely reported in the press and on radio and television.

The forerunner of modern lawn tennis was introduced into England from France in the 15th century and a “tennis court”, built by Henry VIII, is still in use at Hampton Court. The modern game, first played in England in 1873, quickly became very popular; in 1877 the words “lawn tennis” were added to the title of the All England Croquet Club at Wimbledon, near London, and in the same year the first championships were played. The Lawn Tennis Association, the controlling body of the game in Britain, was founded in 1888. The governing body of the game in the world (the International Lawn Tennis Federation, with headquarters in London and Paris) was founded in 1913.
