Watch the 2013 49th Parallel Cup LIVE!

We are extremely excited to announce that the Edmonton Australian Football Club will be streaming this year's 49th Parallel Cup via a live telecast on YouTube. All four Parallel Cup games between the USA and Canada will be shown this Saturday beginning at 10am Mountain Time. Additionally, they will also be posting live updates via Twitter and Facebook.

Freedom & Liberty Named

The USA Freedom coaching staff is pleased to announce the teams for the 2013 49th Parallel Cup. The USA Freedom and newly named USA Liberty (women’s development squad) will take on Canada in next weekend’s tournament in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

“We are truly thrilled to be able to field two full teams once again”, said Head Coach Leigh Barnes, “while it is unfortunate that a number of players missed out on being picked to either squad, it does go to show just how much the program has grown in the last few years”.

Time to leap into US market

It's a sneak peek at the brave new world of AFL, recruiting athletic talent and size which simply isn't available in Australia in anywhere near the numbers of the United States.

Paul Roos has always believed the US college basketballers are an obvious source of talent for the AFL and the recent visit of 200cm plus trio Jason Holmes, Mark Cisco and Patrick Mitchell has only strengthened his view.

A display of their amazing skills above the rim on a Moore Park basketball court provided a tantalizing glimpse of just what they could do with a Sherrin in their hands.
