The European Australian Football Tri-nations Tournament was an Australian rules football competition between national teams from Germany, Denmark and Sweden, first played in 2006.
It was intended to be an annual tournament between the three countries, and was played again in 2007. The series is on hiatus in 2008 whilst the Danish and Swedish teams are in preparation for the Australian Football International Cup.
Denmark has won the competition in both years to date.

“I should think the American admiration of five-minute tourists has done more to kill the sacredness of old European beauty and aspiration than multitudes of bombs would have done.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
