USFooty (Australian Rules Football) Championships Returns to Louisville

October 9, 2007 -- The USAFL announces the 10 year anniversary of the USAFL National Championships to be held in Louisville , Kentucky over the weekend of October 13-14.

It is a fitting tribute to Louisville to see the return of USFooty to the city that hosted the VERY FIRST game in the USA in September of 1996. To complement this, the first three National Championships were held in the city of their opponent in that game, their mid west neighbor, Cincinnati .

The growth of Australian Rules Football in the USA since that game has been truly amazing. The first Nationals in 1997 saw five teams compete on one field over two days of exciting footy, and plenty of socializing. This year will see up to 30 men's teams and at least four women's teams compete on four full size fields at the superb Louisville Champions Park , minutes from downtown Louisville and world renowned locations such as Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby.

The entire USAFL board, National Championships Organizing Committee and the Louisville Kings Football Club take great pride in announcing the location for this year's National Championships and putting on a world class event.
