{{Wales national football team results}}

The Wales national football team represents Wales in international association football and is governed by the Football Association of Wales (FAW). Between 1960 and 1979 the side played 118 matches, the majority of which came against the other national teams of the Home Nations in the British Home Championship. Their first match of the period was a 3–2 victory over Northern Ireland which secured a shared Home Championship title as Wales, England and Scotland each finished with four points.{{harvnb|Stead|2013|pp=179–182}}{{cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/bhc1947-66.html |title=British Home Championship 1947–1966 |publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation. |last1=Reyes |first1=Macario |last2=Morrison |first2=Neil |access-date=22 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111205065604/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesb/bhc1947-66.html |archive-date=5 December 2011 |url-status=live }}
