England National Under-16 Football Team

Between 1925 and 2014, the England under-16 team competed in the annual Victory Shield tournament against Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Since World War II, England had won the Victory Shield outright thirty-five times and had been joint winners with Scotland eight times, with Wales twice and with both Scotland and Wales twice. However, in April 2015, the Football Association decided to withdraw from the tournament "for the foreseeable future" with the stated aim of replacing it with matches against European and global opposition.

Montaigu Tournament

England have competed at the annual Montaigu Tournament, held in Montaigu, France. England won the competition on three occasions between 2008 and 2015, defeating hosts France in the final on all three occasions. In 2008 and 2011, England won in a penalty shoot-out after a 0–0 draw, while in 2015 they won the final outright 3–1. After an eight year wait England were champions again as they defeated Japan on penalties in the final of what was the fiftieth edition of the tournament in April 2023.
