EU Cup


The Euro Cup (formerly known as the EU Cup) is an international Australian rules football tournament played between European national teams. Played under 9-a-side Footy rules, the tournament was first held at Chiswick in London, England in 2005 as an extension of the Central European Australian Football League Championships. The event has to date been mainly contested by European nations not yet at the stage of having enough players to attend the Australian Football International Cup, as having a smaller squad size makes it easier to attend.
