Having won the Elcho Shield in 1873, Ireland challenged the riflemen of America to a match to decide the Championship of the World. The international rifle match of 1874 was the forerunner of the famous Palma Matches, still held today.

A further 14 pages of Appendices give a chronology of Creedmoor and the International Matches, transcripts of the original challenge and the Amateur Club's appeal for riflemen, team profiles, full results and selected target diagrams.
