The Australian Rules Football League of Ireland (ARFLI) (Irish: Sraith Peile na hÉireann um Rialacha na hAstráile) is an Australian rules football competition and is the governing body of Australian Football in Ireland. Ireland is ranked the number three country in Australian football outside of Australia despite having a smaller league than some of its lower-ranked competitors.[1]
Ireland has been a competitor and finalist in all AFL International Cups and a winner twice. The success of the Irish team has commonly been attributed to the ease at which Gaelic footballers adapt to the Australian football because of certain similarities between the two codes.
The league is an international affiliate of the Australian Football League and a founding member of the European governing body, AFL Europe.[2] The league is not affiliated with the Gaelic Athletic Association or the International Rules Series.
