Report

________________________________________________________
<p>With the Belgian and Dutch Federations making the step up to European Football League level from the Atlantic Cup in club competitions in 2017, the focus for Irish clubs became single-game matches with teams from the fringes of Europe.

This started in 2014 when the University of Limerick Vikings made the trip to Andalucia in Spain to play the Granada Lions, losing 34-12.

The following year the Belfast Trojans lost 24-14 to East Kilbride Pirates of Scotland, who hadn’t lost to Scottish opposition in over a decade. The UL Vikings made another trip to the Iberian regions, going down 12-7 to the Barcelona Bufals.

In 2017, with the Belgian and Dutch entrants moving up to the European Football League, the Atlantic Cup became a single-game Bowl between Irish champions, the Dublin Rebels, and the Romanian champions, Bucharest Rebels, with the Dublin side winning 42-14.

Report

________________________________________________________

The Atlantic Cup was the official West European Club Championship for the winners of purely amateur National Leagues in Ireland, Belgium and Netherlands. A team from Luxembourg or the winners of France’s Casque d’Argent (Silver Helmet – the third level) were the usual fourth team in the competition.

In 2017 the Dutch and Belgian Federations made the step up to European Football League level, and the competition became a single match between the Irish champions and the Romanian champions.

The Winners Record before the competition changed includes 3 wins for Ireland (UL Vikings 2010, Belfast Trojans 2013 & 2015), [2][5][7]  3 wins for Belgium (West-Vlaanderen Tribes 2009, Brussels Tigers 2014, Brussels Black Angels 2016) [1][6][8] and 2 wins for Netherlands (Lelystad Commanders 2011 & 2012) [3][4], as well as Dublin Rebels triumph in 2017.
