Baltimore Washington Eagles

Several of its players have participated in the USA national team in numerous AFL International Cups, which are held every three years in Melbourne, Australia.

The early 2000s, however, saw a club that largely receded from the upper echelons of the competition, becoming more of a social network for newcomers to the Beltway, rather than a serious outfit on the ground.

However, the club experienced a revival in 2016 largely due to the dedication of two new coaches from Australia, former Collingwood player Dannie Seow and former Gold Coast Suns development assistant Dean Vigus.

The remainder of the season is played in the USAFL; most often, but not exclusively, against teams in the eastern region—the New York Magpies, Boston Demons, North Carolina Tigers and Philadelphia Hawks.

The aim of the program is to introduce Australian football to younger generations, and promote sport, fitness and a healthy lifestyle among kids.
