Since Wales' first international association football match on 25 March 1876,[1] 14 players have scored three goals (a hat-trick) or more in a game. The first player to achieve the feat was John Price who scored four goals during a match against Ireland on 25 February 1882.[2] Other than Price, three other players have scored four goals during a match, Jack Doughty against Ireland in 1888 Mel Charles against Northern Ireland in 1962 and Ian Edwards against Malta in 1978.[2] No player has ever scored more than one hat-trick for Wales during their career.

Robert Earnshaw scored the most recent hat-trick for Wales in 2004 against Scotland.

The most recent player to score a hat-trick for Wales was Robert Earnshaw, in an international friendly match against Scotland on 18 February 2004.[3]

Wales have conceded 26 hat-tricks during their history, the first being scored by Clement Mitchell in a friendly match on 3 February 1883 against England.[4] The first player to score a hat-trick against Wales from outside the Home Nations was Rajko Mitić for Yugoslavia on 21 May 1953.[5] Six players have scored more than three goals in a single match against Wales, Joe Bambrick's six goals for Ireland during a 1929–30 British Home Championship match is the most goals scored by a player against Wales in a single match. Filippo Inzaghi of Italy is the most recent player to score a hat-trick against Wales, in a UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying match on 6 September 2003.[6]
