Jun 20, 2019 Hawks, Magpies, Demons and Saints Hoist Cups in Carolina In this, the fifth year of the Reigonal Championships Series, one thing that can be counted on is that the weather will be unforgiving. However, by some divine providence of the Australian Football gods, it was a cool and breezy day at the Raleigh MAC Sports & Entertainment Complex. It was a beautiful day, and for three clubs, the day was made even better by winning the first regional championships of the summer. Read more » |

Jun 14, 2019 Dogs that Bite - Previewing the Eastern Regional In my mind, I’m going to Carolina. Tomorrow, we’ll all be there in person. Raleigh, North Carolina. One leg of the Research Triangle, home to the NC State Wolfpack, the Carolina Hurricanes, and some damn fine BBQ.

Jun 4, 2019 USAFL Announces Partnership With OFX Times are changing. Choose a partner who can keep up. Using a bank to transfer money overseas may seem like your easiest option, but it can be an expensive one.

That’s impressive. Read more » |

May 8, 2019 Season Preview Part VII - Womens East The biggest development in our great game, not just in Australia or here in the USAFL, but all around the world, has been from women’s football. Indeed, a professional league now exists, state leagues in Australia are growing, and hundreds – if not more – of grass roots programs have sprung up and are already weaving themselves into the fabric of the sport’s community. No fewer than 22 USAFL clubs have a women’s program as 2019 gets underway, and there is always the possibility of more, as we’ve seen in the past. Read more » |

May 4, 2019 Season Preview Part VI - Mens West Region North The Northwest United States is known for its mountainous terrain, towering over the rest of the countryside in its picturesque beauty. It is an adequate metaphor for the teams based in this area, as they have been a cut above the rest of the field over the last decade.
