NFL Global Junior Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NFL Global Junior Championship is played during the week leading up to the Super Bowl, in the same city that is hosting the game. The first game was played in 1997, and only two teams played, Mexico and Europe. Mexico won the first and second edition, Europe won the third edition. From 2000 to 2002 four teams participated and from 2003 to 2006 five teams.
