Czech Republic
If you would like to play Aussie Rules in the Czech Republic, please contact the Czech Australian Football League.
Aussie Rules has been played in the Czech Republic since around 2003, when there were efforts to start a club in Prague known as the Tigers.
The first lasting club was founded in 2005, known as the Czech Lions. The Lions remained the only team in the Czech Republic for the next three years, playing mainly in tournaments against other European teams, hosting the CEAFL Championships in 2006.
The Czech AFL hosted the EU Cup in Prague in 2008, hosted at Slavia Rugby Club.
In 2009, the Czech AFL took steps to create a domestic competition in the Czech Republic, with the creation of two sides known as the All-Stars and the Marauders. As of July 2009, the two sides had around 30 active playing members, of which around one half were Czechs, one third expatriate Australians, and the remainder from other nationalities. The national representative side of the Czech AFL still competes under the name Czech Lions.
In 2010 the 4 clubs are the Prague Cats, Prague Dragons, Prague Kings and the Vinohrady Hawks.
