Did we ever bring this question to its timely conclusion, or are we all still feverishly working through all the permutations?
For my part, I’m completely flummoxed

Is this thread dead? I’ve got a good question but no idea of what the current, and apparently abandoned, question means, let alone what the answer is.
OK, what is claimed to be the first international sporting event (one country v another) of the modern era (ie not including the original Greek Olympics)?Take it away Stan, no one else is...
Calcutta cup? They keep going on about it being the oldest international match - 1872 I think?
It was cricket, and travel was limited, but not this pairing.
nope, this was 1844.
No. Neither of the teams involved have ever been in the top echelon of Test teams (though Test cricket didn’t come until well after this match).
Good thinking but no.
Yes it was, match in Manhattan in 1844, often cited as the first ‘modern’ international sporting event, seven years before the first Americas Cup race, and 33 years before the first Ashes Test. Though I suspect it was a match between two teams from those countries rather than two national representative selections. Cricket was huge in the US before the introduction of baseball in the 1870s, and still big enough for a team from Philadelphia to beat the Aussies in 1893.
