USA Cup

The USA Cup is the largest international youth football (soccer) tournament in the Western hemisphere. It was founded by Ivar Sorensen and Ingeborg Sorensen in cooperation with the Sons of Norway in 1985.

The first year there were 78 teams, and in the most recent year (2007) the tournament had, for the first time over 1000 teams, representing 23 nations.

The tournament is held in July every year in Blaine, Minnesota, at the National Sports Center. The facility has over 50 football fields, as well as softball fields, indoor hockey rinks, and a cycling velodrome.
