FYI, an international American Football championship exists, and has been played every 4 years since 1999. The US has won the last two since joining that championship in 2007, and beat the shit out of Canada 50-7 in the finals last year. Keep in mind that the international US team fields players who were pretty much undrafted coming out of college, and play in European semi-pro leagues.

tl;dr: a "true" world championship does exist, but it's pretty lopsided (although Japan did go double OT vs the US in 2007).
