This is what football athletes aim, work and play for: the chance to represent our country and wear the stars and stripes in international competition as members of the U.S. National Team. From annual games against Canada to international multi-country gold-medal tournaments, play against the world’s best.
THE GAMES OF CHAMPIONS
The best game anywhere, played by the best everywhere. There are multiple opportunities for football players to achieve a singular goal: taking the field to determine who’s best in the country, continent and world.
International Bowl
Owned by USA Football and supported by the International Federation of American Football, the largest annual international football competition brings together the U.S. National Under-16, Under-17, Under-18 and Under-19 teams to compete against teams from other countries throughout the world.
Middle School Bowl Game Series

Featuring five days of practice and competition held at multiple venues across the nation, the Middle School Bowl Game Series is the final step for middle school athletes on the U.S. National Team.
IFAF World Championship
