Report

1995 saw large-scale change in the National Football League. Debutants Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars played in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, to open the Preseason, with the Panthers winning the battle of expansion franchises 20-14. The two Los Angeles teams also embarked for new patstures: the Rams to St. Louis and the Raiders back to Oakland. Two American Bowls were played that year – Buffalo Bills defeating Dallas Cowboys 9-7 in Toronto, Canada, and Denver Broncos winning 24-10 in Tokyo, Japan against San Francisco 49ers.

Elsewhere the Houston Oilers, a year before they left for Tennessee, played two preseason home games outside Houston: versus Washington Redskins in Knoxville, Tennessee, and Dallas Cowboys in San Antonio, Texas, losing both. Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers also played a game in Orlando, Florida, with Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning, while the New England Patriots lost a ‘home’ game in Stanford, California to the Oakland Raiders, and the New York Jets similarly lost a home game versus Philadelphia Eagles at Jackson, Mississippi. Preseason Division Champions were Indianapolis Colts (3-1, AFC East), Cleveland Browns (2-2, AFC Central), Kansas City Chiefs (3-1, AFC West), Philadelphia Eagles (4-0, NFC East), Detroit Lions (3-1, NFC Central), and Carolina Panthers (3-2, NFC West). Only the Kansas City Chiefs went on to win their Division durling the Regular Season.

Four of these teams went on to win their Regular Season Division title, only the San Diego Chargers (who lost out to the Denver Broncos) and Atlanta Falcons who lost out to San Francisco 49ers, failed to translate Preseason form into Regular Season Championships.

Report

A new 8-team fully professional American Football League in Europe – the European League of Football is planned to start in June 2021 with a 12-week 10-game schedule announced, playing by NFL rules as opposed to NCAA as everywhere else in Europe.

It will be the first fully professional league since the demise of NFL Europa in 2007, and has been met with much criticism by the German Football League – the current top league in Europe – as 6 of the franchises will be based in Germany, with two more in Spain (Barcelona Dragons) and Poland (three times Champions Wroclaw Panthers).

Following the demise of the NFLE/WLAF, the Central European Football League, featuring teams from Poland to Turkey and France to Hungary was a weekly Football League, but not fully pro, lasting until 2016.

The six German teams are Berlin Thunder, Frankfurt Galaxy, Cologne Centurions and Hamburg Sea Devils (all using the same names as their previous NFL Europe/World League of American Football team), Stuttgart Surge (using the name of the old Sacramento Surge team in the WLAF) and Leipzig Kings. Barcelona Dragons is also a resurrection of the previous NFLE/WLAF team name.

Report

BC Angels won the first ever Lingerie Football League Canada title with a 25-12 triumph over Saskatoon Sirens in the 2012-13 Lingerie Bowl Canada. The four team league saw each team play four games, and the 3-1 Saskatoon Sirens and 2-2 BC Angels qualified for the Bowl after finishing ahead of the 2-2 Regina Rage and 1-3 Toronto Triumph.

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.

World Pro Football Leagues Bowls 1991-2019 [Ref: 1-

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.

Report

There were numerous AAA Leagues in US American Football from 1961 to 1985, some of which styled themselves as Major League rivals to the NFL, most notably the United States Football League of 1983 to 1985 and the World Football League of 1974 to 1975.

The winners of the United Football League (1961 to 1964) were Grand Rapids Shamrocks (1961), Wheeling Ironmen (1962, 1963) and Canton Bulldogs (1964). The Continental Football League (1965 to 1969), which featured Co. Offaly-born Tom Furlong, Champions were Charleston Rockets (1965), Philadelphia Bulldogs (1966), Orlando Panthers (1967, 1968) and Indianapolis Capitols (1969).

In the 1972 the Southwestern Pro Football League (SWFL) began to market to the Mexican populations of Texas, California and the SouthWest. It lasted two seasons. Champions were San Antonio Toros (Bulls) (1972) and Oklahoma City Wranglers (1973). the World Football Legue which replaced it attempted to promote American Football to the World, although it got no further than Hawaii. Dublin-born Adrian Young played for the Hawaiians. The League lasted one and a half seasons before folding, with Birmingham Americans the Champions in 1974.

The American Football Association too up the mantle of AAA Football League in 1977, with its Champions being San Antonio Charros (1977), Shreveport Steamers (1978), Carolina Chargers (1979), West Virginia Rockets (1980, 1981), Carolina Storm (1982, 1983). It ended because of the arrival of the United States Football League, a Major Spring League rival to the NFL with a huge budget, including later US President and Billionaire Donald Trump among its team owners. The Champions were Michigan Panthers (1983), Philadelphia Stars (1984) and Baltimore Stars (1985).

After this the AAA Market was taken up by the Arena Football League (1985 to 2019), the World League of American Football / NFL Europe (1991 to 2007) and the XFL Era Leagues (2001 to Present).

Report

From 1926 to 1949 there were numerous Leagues which styled themselves as Major League Rivals to the National Football League. Most of these Leagues called themselves the “American Football League” and were based in two or three regions of the USA. Only the All-American Football Conference of 1946 to 1949 was countrywide with teams in the East, MidWest, South and West.

What is most notable about these Leagues from the point of view of NFL fans is that the Los Angeles Rams (then based in Cleveland), Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers all started in one of these Leagues before joining the NFL. The NFl (or AFL of the 1960ss which merged with the NFL) reused some of the team names (Baltimore Colts, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals).

Winners of these Leagues were: Philadelphia Quakers (1926), St. Louis / Kansas City Blues (1934), Boston Shamrocks (1936), Los Angeles Bulldogs (1937, 1939), East Chicago Indians (1938), Columbus Bullies (1940-1941), Hollywood Rangers (1944) and Cleveland Browns (1946-1949).

There was also a AAA League on the West Coast of America during the 1940s, booming because of the amount of soldiers stationed there during WWII. Winners of this League were: Los Angeles Bulldogs (1940. 1946), Hollywood Bears (1941, 1945), San Diego Bombers (1942-1944), Hawaiian Warriors (1947, 1948).

The first attempt at taking advantage of West Coast appetite for American Football was the California Winter League of 1927 to 1928 when NFL and AFL teams toured the Pacific Coast arranging matches against teams in California, with League Champions being Los Angeles Buccaneers (1927) and New York Yankees (1928).

National Football League Champions 1920-1932 [Ref: 1]

Note: + No Official Standings kept in 1920. * Chicago Bears won Playoff against Portsmouth Spartans 9-0 after both teams finished tied at the top with 6 wins and 1 loss.

Note 2: Chicago Staleys are considered the same team as the Chicago Bears by the NFL. The Bears owner bought out the Decatur Staleys franchise in 1921 and moved them to Chicago, but the owner of the Staleys paid the new owner to keep the name Staleys for one year, after which they became the Chicago Bears.

Note 3: Ties were discounted in calculating W-L Winning Percentages at the time.

Report

The American Professional Football association was formed in late 1919 by the leading teams in the Ohio League (then the most pre-eminent Pro Football League in the USA) in order to provide a common set of rules and prevent players jumping from team to team in search of the biggest pay packet. The four original franchises (Canton Bulldogs, Akro Pros, Rock Island Independents and Dayton Triangles) invited the top teams from the New York Pro Football Circuit (Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse), Pennsylvania and New York City / New Jersey Circuits to join them in forming the first true National Football League.

The League changed its name to the National Football League from APFA in 1922, and in 1932 after the League finished in a tie the first Championship Game was arranged after the season ended. Chicago Bears defeated the Portsmouth Spartans 9-0 to win the Championship. After this the decision was made to split the League into two divisions (Eastern and Western) with a pre-arranged Championship Game between the Division Winners.

The Champions of the APFA / NFL during these years were Akron Pros (1920), Chicago Staleys (1921), Canton Bulldogs (1922, 1923), Cleveland Bulldogs (1924), Chicago Cardinals (1925), Frankford Yellow Jackets (Philadelphia suburb) (1926), New York Giants (1927), Providence Steam Roller (1928), Green Bay Packers (1929-1931) and Chicago Bears (1932).
