The Rheinland Lions are North Rheinland Westphalia’s Australian Football Club. Based in Cologne, our men’s and women's teams play in the Australian Football League of Germany (AFLG).

​​

The season runs from April to September, including semi-finals and a grand final.

​

AFLG has teams across Germany, including Berlin, Dresden, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Kiel, Munich and Stuttgart. We also play friendlies against clubs from other nations, such as France and the Netherlands.

​

The club is a great mix of Australian expats, some who have grown up playing the sport and now live and work in NRW, non-Australian expats who have found themselves living in Cologne and, of course, German locals who have discovered the game.

​

The Lions welcome players of all backgrounds and experience, and there’s a spot in our club for everyone.

​

We’re also a very social club and organise social events and trips on weekends to our away games.
