The final stage of the National Team Development Program process is the naming of U.S. Youth National Teams.

Following the National Combine for the U15, U17 and U19 age groups, a total of 144 players will be named to one of the six U.S. Youth National Teams (formerly USA Select).

All six U.S. Youth National Teams will have games against international competition in the fall, competing in both the sixes discipline of the sport and the traditional full-field version of lacrosse.

For the 2026 cycle, the U17 and U19 teams will host the Brogden Cup at USA Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md., from Sept. 25-27 and the U15, U17 and U19 teams will compete in the Rivalry Challenge in Ontario, Canada from Oct. 9-11.
