International Bowl series[edit]

Played from 2014-20, the annual International Bowl series was a collaboration between Football Canada and USA Football featuring a series of exhibition games between the rival football nations in Texas in January and February. The event built on the previous International Bowl (2010 – 2013) format of Team USA vs. Team World.


Canada's under-18 team for the International Bowl was selected from the top players and coaches at the prior summer's Football Canada Cup.
