 Notes: 
• There have been two Italian Super Bowls anually since 2008. The FIF Golden League and the Italian Football League (IFL) each hold an Italian Super Bowl game.
• The LeNAF began in 2008 with Italian Bowl I. After 2014, it holds the A2 (Division II) championship game for the FIDAF.
• The IFL began at Super Bowl I in 2008 and proceeded through Super Bowl IV in 2011.
• Beginning in 2012, the IFL returned to the old numbering sequence, thus 2012 saw two Italian Super Bowl XXXIIs!!
• The IFL moved their season to the Fall in 2012, and thus played two Super Bowls in the same year!!
• Beginning in 2012, the IFL went to a 9 men a side football game (this began with both 2012 IFL Super Bowls).
• Due to NFL request, the IFL championship game, as of 2015, is renamed the Italian Bowl, the usage of Super Bowl no longer allowed.
• In 2015, the FIF was succeeded by the Italy 9 Championship which ran the International Amateur American Football League (IAAFL) which held its own Super Bowl
