History

The team competed at the 2015 European Championship, where they finished second after losing to Finland in the final game.[1] They then participated in the 2017 World Championship, where they finished fourth after losing to Mexico in the bronze medal game.[2] Great Britain hosted the 2019 European Championship, where they won a bronze medal. Great Britain forced a three-way tie with winners and runners-up Finland and Sweden, but finished third due to the tournament's tiebreakers. [3]

At the 2022 World Championship, Great Britain made it to the final following a winning touchdown with only two seconds to go in the game. [4] In doing so, Great Britain became the first European team to play in an IFAF World Championship final.
