Australia is a charter member of the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) and competed in the inaugural 1999 IFAF World Cup. They have since competed in the Oceania Bowl in 2005 and the Samoa Bowl in 2011, among other international competitions.[1][2] Australia has been competing in the IFAF World Championship since 2011.
