The Elmshorn Fighting Pirates are an American football team from Elmshorn, Germany. The club's greatest achievement is winning the championship in the GFL2 North in 2019 and - after winning the promotion/relegation round against the Düsseldorf Panther qualifying for the 2020 season in the top tier German Football League. However, as the 2020 season was never played due to Covid-19, and with competition from a Hamburg based team in the upstart European League of Football ("ELF") worsening the doubtful financial situation, the Fighting Pirates ultimately withdrew from the GFL without ever having played a single match in their "theoretical" year of league membership.
