The first ch'ship was held in Palermo (I) and Japan won vs Mexico (Italy took the 4th place after Sweden).
Again Japan defeated Mexico for the first place in 2003, when the championship was played in Germany.
Finally in 2007 USA beat host country Japan 23-20 in OT.
In the second game of 2011 Austria championship Mexico defeated European champions of Germany 22-15.
Afaik no pro players are included in the rosters.
Concerning junior play, early in February this year a USA U19 NT defeated 21-14 a World Team, but don't know if it's the Junior WC you were mentioning.
P.S. American Football is known and played in Italy but not as much as Rugby or even Baseball.
