# AFBN Eredivisie

The AFBN's Eredivisie (lit. "premier league") is the top division of American football in the Netherlands founded in 1983. The league currently consists of 8 teams from different cities of the Netherlands. At the end of each regular season, the top two teams from each "pool" play in the playoffs, a four-team single-elimination tournament that culminates with the championship game, known as the Tulip Bowl.
