Central European Australian Football League Championships

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An Australian rules football tournament for developing nations in Europe.

The CEAFL Championships were held twice - Madrid in 2003 and Düsseldorf in 2004.

The 2004 competition was won by Belgium (represented by the Brussels Saints), defeating Spain (represented by the Madrid Bears) in the final. Other competing sides in that year included France (although this side consisted of two Australians from the Paris Cockerels, combined with extra players from other countries), Austria (represented by the Vienna Dingos and Germany (represented by club players from Düsseldorf and elsewhere).

The 2005 CEAFL Championships were to be held in Paris, France - but involvement first with the International Australian Football Council and then with the new organisation Aussie Rules International saw the event renamed the EU Cup. This event was moved to London for organisational reasons and was held on October the 9th.
