The 2015 IFAF World Championship was the fifth instance of the IFAF World Championship, an international American football tournament. The United States hosted the tournament.[1] Seven teams had confirmed their participation for the tournament in Canton, Ohio.[2]
The tournament was to be hosted by Stockholm, Sweden, with all games to be take place at the Tele2 Arena. However, on 19 December 2014, the local organizing committee announced that it had to cancel after failing to set up a sponsorship structure. USA Football then announced that the tournament would be held at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton.
The United States won their third consecutive championship in their third appearance, defeating Japan 59–12 in the final. Sports Radio America internationally broadcast the gold medal game.
