The U.S. women’s national lacrosse team arrived in Tokyo on 21 July 2026 for a five‑day five-day training camp ahead of the Nissin Foods World Championship. Coach Acacia Walker‑Weinstein Walker-Weinstein stressed the squad’s readiness to defend its fifth straight title, with group‑stage group-stage matches against Ireland, the Haudenosaunee Nationals and Chinese Taipei before knockout rounds through 2 August. During the tournament, host Japan recorded its first loss, falling 9‑11 9-11 to Israel, but recovered to finish the group stage with two wins and secure a quarter‑final quarter-final berth. The competition is viewed as a stepping‑stone stepping-stone toward lacrosse’s return to the Olympic programme at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. On 31 July 2026, the United States defeated Israel 19‑7 19-7 in the semifinal, extending its tournament winning streak to 35 games and earning a place in the final against Canada. Madison Taylor led the semifinal effort with five goals and an assist.

Coach Walker‑Weinstein Walker-Weinstein said the team accomplished “accomplished all its goals. our goals that we set out to do at the beginning of this journey.” Midfielder Ally Kennedy was named tournament MVP, and goalkeeper Shea Dolce recorded seven first‑half first-half saves. The victory extended the U.S. senior‑level senior-level winning streak to 36 games. Following the championship, the U.S. Women’s Sixes National Team announced a 22-player roster for a training camp in Maryland. The camp, led by head coach Lindsey Munday, serves as a precursor to the Pan-American Sixes Lacrosse Championships, which act as a qualifier for the 2027 World Lacrosse Sixes Championship and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
