Report

Linda Holland was born in Cork before moving to Perth, Western Australia in 2009. She started playing American Football there and in 2013 when the Legends Football League came to Australia she jumped at the opportunity to play Professional American Football. Even though the League has garnered criticism for the tiny shorts and crop tops the players wear (at first they played in Lingerie but that was changed after sexism claims) Linda said it was an honour to represent her country, describing herself as “Irish by birth, Irish by grace of God”. [1]

The Western Australia Angels reached the Final in 2013-14, losing 36-15 to NSW Surge.[8] They had qualified for the Legends Cup by finishing second in the four team league with a 2-2 record, losing in Week 1, 26-32 to the Victoria Maidens, before winning the next two against NSW Surge, 20-18 in Week 3, and 41-0 against Queensland Brigade in Week 5. They surprisingly lost their last regular season match 26-19 in the return match with Queensland, but made the Legends Cup Final on head-to-head.

The Lingerie Football League was a Ladies 7v7 Indoor Gridiron (American Football) League that started as an alternative to the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2004. The Ladies played with very little in terms of protective clothing. The League was criticized as sexist, although in 2013 the lingerie was replaced with bicycle shorts and crop-tops, changing its name to the Legends Football League in the process.

In 2012-13 LFL Global introduced a four-team League in Canada, which lost its broadcasting rights after one season, and was replaced by another four team league in Australia, which again only lasted one season.

Report

Following claims of sexism the Lingerie Football League ditched the Lingerie Kit the Women had to wear and adopted shorts and crop-tops, changing its name to the Legends Football League in the process.

The newly-named Legends Cup was won in 2013 by Chicago Bliss, 33-14 over Philadelphia Passion. They won again the following year, 24-18 over Atlanta Steam. They were unable to win three-in-a-row however, losing the 2015 Cup 27-21 to Seattle Mist, before gaing revenge in Legends Cup 2016, beating the same opposition 31-26.

The 2017 edition of the Legends Cup went back to Seattle with the Mist defeating Atlanta Steam 38-28, before Chicago Bliss became the winningest team in Legends Cup History with victory in the 2019 Legends Cup, defeating Austin Acoustic 28-20

Report

The Lingerie Bowl started in 2004 as a rival to the NFL Super Bowl Half-Time Show, featuring two teams of scantilly-clad acresses and models.

By 2009 it had become a fully-fledged League: The Lingerie Football League, with 10 teams divided into an Eastern & Western Conference, playing 7v7 Tackle Football although with very little protection in terms of padding or kit. The Eastern Conference consisted of Chicago Bliss, Miami Caliente, Tampa Breeze, Philadelphia Passion and New York Majesty, and the Western Conference consisted of Los Angeles Temptation, Dallas Desire, Seattle Mist, Denver Dream and San Diego Seduction. The season consisted of 4 Regular Season Matches, plus Playoffs,.

Lingerie Bowl VII won by Los Angeles Temptation, 27-14 over Chicago Bliss. The 2010-11 season saw Orlando Fantasy & Baltimore Charm replace New York Majesty and Denver Dream. The 2011 Lingerie Bowl was won by Los Angeles again, 26-25 over Philadelphia Passion, and they completed the three-in-a-row in 2012, again defeating the Paasion, this time by a more comfortable margin 28-6.

There was an expansion for the 2011-12 season, going from 10-12 teams with the addition of Minnesota Valkyrie, Green Bay Chill, Toronto Triumph, Las Vegas Sin and Cleveland Crush. Miami Caliente, Dallas Desire and San Diego Seduction left the League

Following criticism of the kit the players were wearing, with claims the League was sexist, the League changed its name to the Legends Football League for the 2012-13 season, and played in Beach Volleyball-style shorts and crop-tops rather than Lingerie.

Report

The Lingerie Bowl was conceived as a Rival to the NFL Super Bowl Half-Time Show which some fans had said was too boring and long.

It was aired at the same time as the Super Bowl Half-Time Show on a Rival Network, and featured two teams of scantilly-clad Models & Actresses, repesenting New York Euphoria & Los Angeles Temptation. Euphoria won Lingerie Bowls I & III.

Lingerie Bowls IV-VI were cancelled, the first two due to failing to reach agreement with a TV Network, and VI due to a dispute with a local Nudist Resort near Tampa Bay, where it was due to be played.

The one-off Bowl became the Lingerie Football League in 2010, playing a full season.
