The first appearance of an all-German national team was in 2006, with the team competing in a tri-nations series against Denmark and Sweden, losing both of their first "test-level" matches. In 2007 the German National Team competed in the Tri-Nations series for the second year running against Sweden and Denmark, claiming their first test-level victory over Sweden in Berlin, on 7 July 2007. The team is yet to make an appearance at the Australian Football International Cup, as the AFLG has stated that the costs involved would be better spent in local development. Informal German national AFL teams have also at times competed under the names 'the Blitz' and 'the Eagles'. The 2007 EU Cup was also hosted by Germany and took place on 15 September in Hamburg with Germany losing the final game against Sweden. On 11 June of 2011 the Black Eagles defeated the French national team in a friendly game 83:19. The match was held in Paris. Clubs All in all
