The Tulip Bowl, like the NFL Super Bowl, is the final match of the season for the top division of the American Football Bond Nederland (AFBN). The AFBN is the organisation responsible for American football in the Netherlands. The Tulip Bowl participants are determined through the playoffs and the match determines the Dutch champions in the sport of American football. This year, the Tulip Bowl will be played on July 8th and will be hosted by the Flevo Phantoms.
There are also other Bowl games, including the Division Two Bowl and the Dyan Kralt Bowl for the youth competition.
