2025 Home Nations
The Welsh Petanque Association hosted the 24th edition of the Home Nations Championship at Pontyclun Petanque Club over the weekend of the 9th/10th of August.
The first Home Nations Championship was hosted here in Wales in 2000 at the then Millennium Stadium in the heart of Cardiff. In the intervening years, each country has taken turns hosting the event, and it remains as competitive as it was in 2000.
Over the two days, 192 games were played between the four nations to claim the title. England came to take back the title, which it successfully achieved. The full report can be accessed by clicking the button below.
Congratulations to England for regaining the title after last year’s upset in Jersey.
