A toroidal affine Nash group is the affine Nash group analogue of an anti-affine algebraic group. In this note, we prove analogues of Rosenlicht's structure and decomposition theorems: (1) Every affine Nash group $G$ has a smallest normal affine Nash subgroup $H$ such that $G/H$ is an almost linear affine Nash group, and this $H$ is toroidal. (2) If $G$ is a connected affine Nash group, then there exist a largest toroidal affine Nash subgroup $\ant{ G}$ and a largest connected, normal, almost linear affine Nash subgroup $\aff{ G}$. Moreover, we have $G=\ant{ G}\aff{ G}$, and $\ant{ G}\cap \aff{ G}$ contains $\aff{ (\ant{ G})}$ as an affine Nash subgroup of finite index.
