The Swans are the reigning European Champions after defeating Ireland 1.2 (8) to 0.2 (2) in the Grand Final of the 2010 AFL Europe Championship.
In 2017, they competed in the AFL International Cup for the first time, finishing third. This is the best-ever result by a Great Britain side at an International Cup.
The Great Britain men's national Australian rules football team are called the Great Britain Bulldogs.

In 2017, the GB Swans made their first appearance at the International Cup in Melbourne, finishing third.
