Finland Ice Breakers

The Finland Ice Breakers are the representative Australian football team in Finland, formerly known as the Finnish Lions. They are the current holder of the Central European AFL Championships, having won the tournament in both 2006 and 2007. While the team was started by Australian expatriates, it has been captained by a Finn ever since the 2nd match, and Finnish representation now exceeds 50%.

The Lions' first home game on May 13, 2006 has been claimed as the northernmost international game of Australian football ever played, being hosted in Helsinki, the northernmost capital of Europe.

Finland participated in the 2007 EU Cup in Hamburg, the 2008 EU Cup in Prague and the 2009 EU Cup in Samobor..

In 2008 the Icebreakers made their debut at the Australian Football International Cup in Melbourne.
