Welsh Australian Rules Football League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Australian rules football has been played on an organised basis in Wales since 2007,[1] with the league and representative teams run and managed by the Welsh Australian Rules Football League (WARFL, Welsh: Cynghrair Pêl-droed Rheolau Awstralaidd Cymru) who is the controlling body of the sport in the country. All six senior teams in the WARFL are named after clubs in the South Australian National Football League. Prior to 2007 some clubs played in the BARFL but the rising popularity of Australian Football demanded the creation of a Welsh league.
