American Football World Cup (also known as the IFAF World Cup) is an international
competition held every four years since 1999 to decide the "world champion" of
American football. Italy hosted the 1999 Cup and Germany hosted the 2003 Cup.
Japan won both titles. The United States did not compete in the first two World Cups.
The competition is run by the IFAF and it consists of a qualification round and a final
tournament. In 2007, the 3rd American Football World Cup took place in Kawasaki,
Japan. In 2007, the total number of teams in the competition exceeded 20 countries
as, besides the six nations that qualified for the final tournament, five teams competed
in direct qualification games. In Europe, the continental federation EFAF also used its
European Championships as one qualifier.
