USAFL Western Regionals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The USAFL Western Regionals is a representative Australian rules football tournament of USAFL clubs based in the western regions of the United States.

It is a two part series established after the collapse of the Californian Australian Football League in 2004 to give clubs without regular league play (although some participate in the North West Pacific Australian Football League) a chance to compete in preparation for the USAFL National Championships, determining the seedings for the nationals as well as the USAFL East vs West tournament.

Sides that compete or have competed include:

• Arizona Hawks
• Denver Bulldogs
• Golden Gate Roos
• Mojave Greens
• Orange County Bombers
• San Diego Lions
• Seattle Grizzlies
