Wales Vintage Leather Ball by Gilbert

Official Gilbert Wales Rugby Vintage Leather Ball 1881

Celebrate the history of Wales rugby with this handcrafted vintage leather ball commemorating the long standing relationship between the team and the sport of rugby, and the team's first international competition in 1881. Created by Gilbert, this is a wonderful rugby memorabilia that makes a great decorative piece for any lover of the game and the Wales Dragons.

Wales has always been at the forefront of rugby, its first national club being formed just a few years after the first ever official rugby union. The Welsh team has a long history filled with records and firsts, and the team has earned its place in the world of rugby. Wales has competed annually in the Six Nations Championship since it was established in 1883. They have won the tournament 27 times, most recent in 2019. That same year, Wales finished fourth at the Rugby World Cup and reached number 1 in the World Rugby rankings.
