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.

Report

________________________________________________________
<p>Ireland was re-admitted to the European Federation of American Football in the early 2000s, and Ireland’s National champions competed in the Charleroi Trophy, an unofficial West European Club Championship, from 2002-2004.

The Dublin Rebels represented Ireland all three years, winning in 2002 & 2003. The Carrickfergus Knights also represented Ireland in 2003, finishing third. Other teams taking part were host team Charleroi Cougars from Belgium as well as other Belgian and French representatives.

In 2002 the Rebels defeated France’s Forbach Taupes 26-8 in the Semi-Finals before winning 22-0 against the host team in the final. [1][4]

In 2003 The Rebels won their Semi-Final 8-6 against Celtes de Mitry of France, whilst the Carrickfergus Knights went down by the same score to the Charleroi Cougars. The Knights won the 3rd Place Playoff 22-8 against the Celtes, before the Rebels again defeated the Cougars in the Final, 12-0. [2][5]

The 2004 edition saw the Rebels back in action, however, this time they lost in the Semi-Final 26-8 to Chevaliers d’Orleans, before beating the host team for the third year in succession, in the 3rd Place Playoff, on a 20-0 scoreline. [3]
