Ireland's Australian Rules team tends not to be drawn from that pool, but from club-level gaelic footballers experimenting with a new but familiar sport.

[citation needed] The team wears a green (one of the national colours of Ireland) guernsey with a Celtic strip featuring the Irish harp symbol.

For the 2022 AFL European Championships, both men's and women's teams adopted a darker green, ditching the harp for a more traditional Australian rules guernsey consisting of a white and orange chevron across the chest.

[citation needed] Recently the national team played a curtain raiser at the West Coast Eagles vs Fremantle exhibition match at the Oval in London where they beat the British Bulldogs.

[citation needed] The Warriors finished fourth again at the 2008 Australian Football International Cup and the best and fairest player was once again Mike Finn.

[citation needed] The Warriors won the inaugural European Championships in 2010 defeating Denmark in the final 11.2(68) to 8.3(51).
