Shamrock Bowl

Irish American-football championship game

The Shamrock Bowl is the championship game of the American Football Ireland (AFI), the highest level of American football on the island of Ireland, culminating a season that begins in March of the current calendar season.

The Shamrock Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify each game, rather than the year in which it was held. For example, Shamrock Bowl XIII was played on 30 August 1998, following the regular season played in 1998, while Shamrock Bowl XXV was played on 31 July 2011, to determine the champion of the 2011 regular season.

The reigning champions are Dublin Rebels, who beat UCD American Football 40-34 at MTU stadium in Cork to win Shamrock Bowl XXXV.
