Cricket
The team representing Great Britain and Ireland was the Devon and Somerset Wanderers. Only 2 teams participated in the competition, in a single match (the other team while nominally representing France was mainly made of British expatriates). The Wanderers were actually awarded silver medals and the "French" team bronze ones.

Rugby
Similar to with other team sports, one existing club team was selected to represent Great Britain and Ireland rather than a team being drawn together from players around the country. In this case it was Moseley Wanderers from Warwickshire. They only played one game, losing to France, but were deemed joint runners up with Germany, who also lost to France.
