German Black Eagles

 

The first appearance of an all-German national team was in 2006, with the team competing in a Tri-Nations series against Denmark and Sweden, losing both of their matches.

 

The team adopted the moniker Black Eagles, taking the name from the symbol of the coat of arms of Germany, the black eagle.

 

Scratch German national AFL teams have also at times competed under the names 'the Blitz' and 'the Eagles'.

 

In 2007 the German National Team competed in the Tri-Nations series for the second year running against Sweden and Denmark.

 

Berlin hosted the Germany v Sweden match on July 7, 2007 which Germany won.

 

The 2007 EU Cup was took place in Hamburg and Germany enjoyed a very successful tournament, where they made the final (losing to Sweden).
