The European Championship is a continental competition of American football founded in 1983 and contested by the member countries of IFAF Europe. The tournament also serves as a qualifier for the IFAF World Championship. This championship is also known as "the Golden Fair League" until 2014 when the European Federation of American Football coordinated the competition. The first championship tournament was held in 1983.
In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Russian national American football team was suspended from the competition after Italy refused to play against Russia that October in a qualifier for the 2023 IFAF European Championships.
