Global Football is creating a celebration of American football the first weekend of September 2012, traditionally the opening weekend of football season!

Hundreds of amateur players, their coaches, staff, families and fans can all be a part of Global Ireland Football Tournament 2012. While the Notre Dame® vs Navy game will attract tens of thousands of fans and worldwide media, we will produce ancillary games that will showcase top teams of various age groups.
