Historical Dominance
Since 2002, the United States and Canada have alternated as world champions, establishing themselves as the dominant forces in international lacrosse. However, the increasing competitiveness of other nations suggests that this duopoly may face serious challenges in the years to come.
Emerging Lacrosse Nations
While traditional powerhouses like the US, Canada, and the Haudenosaunee continue to lead the pack, other nations have made significant strides in recent years. Teams from Europe, Asia, and Africa are steadily closing the gap, adding an element of unpredictability to the tournament.
Countries like England and Australia have consistently performed well, while nations such as Japan, Israel, and Germany have shown remarkable improvement. The 2023 championship may well see some surprising results as these emerging lacrosse nations aim to make their mark on the world stage.

The Role of Technology and Innovation in Modern Lacrosse
As the sport of lacrosse continues to evolve, technology and innovation play an increasingly important role in shaping the game at the highest level. How are these advancements impacting the World Lacrosse Championships?
Equipment Advancements
Modern lacrosse equipment has come a long way from its traditional roots. High-tech materials and cutting-edge designs are now commonplace, offering players enhanced performance and safety. From lightweight, aerodynamic sticks to advanced protective gear, these innovations are changing the way the game is played at the elite level.

Teams competing in the World Lacrosse Championships are increasingly turning to data analytics to gain a competitive edge. Advanced metrics and performance tracking tools allow coaches and players to analyze every aspect of the game in minute detail. This data-driven approach to strategy and player development is elevating the level of play and making the sport more exciting than ever.
Broadcast Technology
For fans unable to attend the games in person, advancements in broadcast technology are bringing the action closer than ever before. High-definition cameras, slow-motion replays, and interactive features are enhancing the viewing experience, allowing fans around the world to feel like they’re right in the middle of the action.
The Economic Impact of Hosting a World Championship
Hosting a major international sporting event like the World Lacrosse Championships can have significant economic implications for the host city and region. What are the potential benefits and challenges of hosting such a prestigious tournament?
Tourism Boost
The influx of teams, support staff, and lacrosse fans from around the world is expected to provide a substantial boost to San Diego’s tourism industry. Hotels, restaurants, and local attractions are likely to see increased business during the championship period, contributing to the local economy.
Global Exposure
Hosting the World Lacrosse Championships puts San Diego in the international spotlight, showcasing the city to a global audience. This exposure can have long-term benefits, potentially attracting future visitors and even businesses to the region.
Infrastructure Investments
Preparing to host a world-class sporting event often requires investments in infrastructure and facilities. While these costs can be significant, they can also leave a lasting legacy that benefits the local community long after the championship has concluded.
Challenges and Considerations
Despite the potential benefits, hosting a major international tournament also comes with challenges. These may include logistical complexities, security concerns, and the need to balance the event’s requirements with the needs of local residents. Careful planning and community engagement are essential to ensure a successful and mutually beneficial championship experience.
The Future of International Lacrosse Competitions

The success and global reach of events like the World Championships play a crucial role in demonstrating lacrosse’s viability as an Olympic sport.
Expansion of International Competitions
As lacrosse continues to grow globally, we can expect to see an expansion of international competitions at various levels. This may include more frequent regional tournaments, youth championships, and potentially new formats that showcase different aspects of the sport.
Increased Media Coverage and Fan Engagement
With the rise of streaming platforms and social media, international lacrosse competitions are likely to see increased media coverage and fan engagement in the coming years. This expanded reach could help attract new fans to the sport and further fuel its global growth.

The 2023 World Lacrosse Men’s Championship in San Diego will open with one of the best rivalries in the sport. The reigning champion United States will play against Canada on June 21 at 7 p.m.
The game is the first of 87 in the tournament, which will pit 30 countries from around the world. The United States and Canada have alternated world championships since 2002 with the U.S. edging Canada 9-8 on Tom Schreiber’s goal with one second remaining to win the gold medal at the 2018 world championship in Netanya, Israel.
Length of Event ticket packages
The U.S., aiming to become the first team to repeat as the event’s champion in over two decades, will play Australia (June 23), Haudenosaunee (June 24) and England (June 25) in pool play. The playoff rounds begin on June 27 with the quarterfinals on June 28, the semifinals on June 29 and the championship game on July 1.
Competition will be staged across three venues at San Diego State University and the University of San Diego, with marquee matchups taking place at SDSU’s new, state-of-the-art Snapdragon Stadium. The 35,000-seat venue that opened in September 2022 is home to SDSU football, the National Women’s Soccer League’s San Diego Wave and Major League Rugby’s San Diego Legion.
Eleven matches – including all A-pool games and two quarterfinals – will take place at USD’s Torero Stadium, which seats 6,000 and is home to the school’s football and soccer programs.
All remaining games will take place on SDSU’s campus among four adjacent fields, anchored by SDSU Sports Deck, the 1,500-seat home of the university’s soccer programs.
The 30-team field is made up of the top 10 finishers from the 2018 Men’s Championship – which all earned automatic qualification – along with 20 teams determined by continental qualifiers that took place last year. The European Lacrosse Federation received 11 slots, the Asia Pacific Lacrosse Union and Pan-American Lacrosse Association each received four slots, and the Africa Association of Lacrosse received one slot, based on the number of WL members in each Continental Federation.
The top five seeded teams make up the A pool: the United States, Canada, the Haudenosaunee, England and Australia. The remaining teams were split into pools B-F based on their finishes at continental qualifiers, ensuring that each pool has representation from a minimum of three continents.
The six pools will compete in a round-robin format from June 21-26. The top two A pool teams will advance directly to the quarterfinals, while the remaining three teams from the A pool will join the top nine teams from pools B-F (five first-place finishers and four second-place finishers) in the first round of the playoffs on June 27 to determine the remaining teams in the quarterfinals, which kick off on June 28.

The lacrosse world championships traveled down under to Perth, Australia in 1990 but playing in the Southern Hemisphere didn’t do much to change the pecking order for national teams. Canada and the US obviously matched up for a great game and the video picks up the play with the US up 5-2 early in the second quarter.
Earlier this week we put up a video from 2010, featuring a Japan Hidden Ball Trick. The announcers called it the first successful hidden ball trick, but we knew that couldn’t be true.
Thanks to Kentaro Shimizu, we now KNOW that the statement was false, because we’ve got video evidence from 2006!
If you believe the announcers on the video, this is the first time the hidden ball trick has ever been successfully pulled off at the World Championships. I can’t imagine that is actually true, as Canada has been playing in that thing forever, but that’s not the point.
Inside you can find a GREAT video on the 2013 FIL World Cup, which took place in Oshawa, Ontario. The women’s world championships crowned the US as champs, and the team set a number of records in the process. This was the US’ seventh (out of 9 total) title, and the first time the Canadians had won Silver.
