INTERNATIONAL GAMES
AMERICAN BOWL

The American Bowl was played in July/August as part of the NFL's pre-season schedule, and was played abroad to promote American Football across the world. 2005 marked the 12th time that the American Bowl had been played in Tokyo, Japan and was the first in 2 years. The International Series has since taken over this event, hence the reason why no further games have been played. It was ultimately a monumental success as it brought the NFL to Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, Spain and the UK.
