Norway

The Oslo Trolls formed in 2005 as Norway's first Australian rules football club, but didn't play their first match until hosting the Karlstad Dragons from Sweden in August 2008. Prior to this, players from the Trolls had travelled to western Sweden to play in club matches with the teams in Karlstad and Gothenburg.

The second club to form in the Oslo area were founded in early early 2009 in the town of Ås. This club is nicknamed the Ås Battlers, after the Australian expression Aussie battler, due to the name of the town sounding similar to the first syllable of Aussie. The Oslo Trolls and Ås Battlers will play their first match against each other in August 2009.

In May 2009, a group started playing social matches in the northern city of Tromsø. This club is currently the most northerly Australian rules team in the world.
