The Seahawks Gdynia are an American football team based in Gdynia, Poland. They play in the Liga Futbolu Amerykańskiego.

History

The team was founded in October 2005 as the Pomorze Seahawks. In 2006, the Seahawks were one of four founders of the Polish American Football League and, in the first season, made their first appearance in the national championship game, the Polish Bowl, but lost to the Warsaw Eagles.[1] In 2008, they lost the Polish Bowl to the Eagles again.[2] In 2009, the team made its first appearance in the EFAF Challenge Cup.

In the first two seasons, the Seahawks played home games in Sopot, and in the next three, they played in Gdańsk at the GOKF stadium. Since the 2011 PLFA season, the Seahawks moved to Gdynia, changed their name to Seahawks Gdynia and played at the National Rugby Stadium.[3]

After the 2017 season, the Seahawks left the Polish American Football League and joined the new Liga Futbolu Amerykańskiego.
