IFAF COMPETITIONS IFAF Senior World Championship (SWC) The IFAF Senior World Championship is held every four years having first been contested in 1999 and is considered the showpiece IFAF competition. The fifth IFAF Senior World Championship will be held in Sweden in 2015. The United States is the reigning back-to-back senior world champions (2009 and 2011). Japan has also twice lifted the world crown in 1999 and 2003. IFAF Women's World Championship (WWC) In July 2009 IFAF announced plans for Sweden to host the inaugural tackle competition for women, furthering opportunities for female participation in the sport at its highest level. Six nations competed in Stockholm, with the United States winning their first crown. The IFAF WWC will be played on a four-year rotation basis with the 2013 contest taking place in New Brunswick, Canada. IFAF U-19 World Championship (U-19WC) The inaugural IFAF U-19 World Championship was one of the most significant international football events in the 11-year history of IFAF. The event introduced the sophistication of international football development to millions of U.S. football fans and increased awareness of American football internationally. More than 40,000 fans attended the three game days at Fawcett Stadium as eight nations from four continents competed at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. The United States was the inaugural champion of the event. IFAF U-19 World Championship tournaments will be played every two years. This year's 2012 contest was in Austin, TX.

2014 U-19 Junior World Championship will be in Kuwait this coming July. 8 participants: Kuwait (hosts), Canada (2012 champions), USA (2009 champions), Japan, Mexico, France, Austria, American Samoa Here is the Kuwaiti team from their Facebook page.
I doubt more than a couple at most. The Lingerie Football League was only in North America, and there was a weight limit for players. Schedule and pools for the U19 World Championship as it starts next July. Group A: Canada (defending champions), Austria, France, Kuwait (hosts) Group B: USA (2009 champions), Japan, Mexico, Germany A shame there's no American Samoa this time around. They lost in the first round to the U.S. in a knockout-style competition 27-6 but played solid. Made more amazing because the team was pulled from all of 7 high schools in American Samoa. They then won their next two games to take 5th place. The best country after the U.S. and Canada is normally Japan and you'd think they'd take bronze. Kuwait are whipping boys. So the other team in the bronze medal game will be either Austria or France. In 2012, there was a feed that broadcast the games live.
The IFAF U-19 World Cup The IFAF U-19 World Cup is the world championship of American football for players under the age of 19 organized by the International Federation of American Football.
