Report

The first attempt at creating a World Pro American Football League that actually managed to get off the ground was the World League of American Football of 1991, which was a National Football League Official AAA Development League featuring 6 teams in the USA, one in Canada and three in Europe. After two seasons the League was put on hiatus by the NFL, the winners at this stage were London Monarchs (1991) and Sacramento Surge (1992).

Taking advantage of the WLAF’s break, the American Football League of Europe, spearheaded by the Hamburg Blue Devils and Terry Smith of the Manchester Spartans, played three seasons from 1993 to 1995, the first as a Limited Schedule Precursor, with the Hamburg Blue Devils winning the four team European Conference and the EuroBears winning the four team UK Conference. While all four teams in the UK Conference were based in Saffron Lane. Leicester, they were supposed to represent the four regions of the UK and were all named after NFL teams with the prefix Euro-added. Given that the Steelers were the designated home team for the NFL game in Dublin, later in 1997, and their owner was a prominent Irish American it could be thought the EuroSteelers were to represent Ireland. The Stockholm Nordic Vikings won both full seasons of the AFLE in 1994 and 1995.

The World League of American Football came back as a six-team Europe-only League in 1995, and the winners from then until 1997 were Frankfurt Galaxy (1995), Scottish Claymores (1996) and Barcelona Dragons (1997). Emmett Waldron, who was born in Cork, played for the Scottish Claymores in the WLAF / NFLE from 1996 to 1999. In 1996 he won the World Bowl with the Claymores when they triumphed 32-27 over the Frankfurt Galaxy in World Bowl 96.

The World League of American Football was renamed the National Football League Europe in 1998, and the Champions from then until 2007 were: Rhein Fire (1998, 2000), Frankfurt Galaxy (1999, 2003, 2006), Berlin Thunder (2001, 2002, 2004), Amsterdam Admirals (2005) and Hamburg Sea Devils (2007). In 2007 the NFL folded the NFL Europe to focus on promoting the NFL in Europe through the International Series of NFL Regular Season Games.

The World League of 2009 to 2011 could be thought of as the United Football League, although based entirely in USA. Its’ Champions were Las Vegas Locomotive (2009, 2010) and Virginia Destroyers (2011). In 2012 former NFL players and Coaches promoted the Elite Football League of India, with teams in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Pune Marathas won its sole season.

The Legends Football Leagues took over the World League mantle from 2012 to 2017, with BC Angels winning the LFL Canada in 2012-13, NSW Surge winning LFL Australia in 2013-14 and Cougars de Veracruz, Evil Queens Culiacan and Valkirias San Luis Potosi winning the Pretty Girls Football League (Mexico) between 2014 and 2017. Cork-born Linda Holland played for the Western Australia Angels in the LFL Australia, and the Pretty Girls Football League in Mexico included a team called the Morrigans CDMX, named after a Gaelic Celtic Goddess.

In 2016 and 2019 the China Arena Football League was a venture of Arena Football League Global, with the winners being Beijing Lions (2016) and Wuhan Gators (2019). In 2018 Amsterdam Crusaders of the Dutch League, took a seasons break from the League to play an international-only schedule like the Hamburg Blue Devils in 1993.
