World Rankings

There is currently no official system of World Rankings for Australian Football, most likely because the international game is still mostly amateur and still maturing so there are insufficient matches between the nations to reliably compare them. Even when there are matches, countries are often restricted by the inability of players to always be available for travel.

The most consistent forum for contests has been the International Cup series, although even there most nations could name several key players that were unable to attend to each time. Also, the best nations have generally attended, but often not the middle and lower ranked ones. A summary of International Cup positions is found here.

However, worldfootynews.com has attempted to create an unofficial ranking in 2006 and 2008. Visit those pages for a full discussion of the criteria.
