The U.S. men's team defeated Canada 12-10 in the gold medal game to win the 2010 World Championship in Manchester, England. The U.S. has won 23 of the 28 international field world championships held since 1967.

US Lacrosse coordinates all aspects of the men's and women's national teams program. The U.S. teams compete in sanctioned world championships through the Federation of International Lacrosse. The FIL was formed in 2008, following a merger of the International Lacrosse Federation and the International Federation of Women's Lacrosse Associations.

The U.S. team program has four primary teams - the U.S. men's team (selected every four years), the U.S. women's team (selected annually), the U.S. men's U-19 team (selected every four years) and the U.S. women's U-19 team (selected every four years).

U.S. Men's Team: The U.S. men's team won the gold medal in the 2010 FIL Men's World Championship in Manchester, England. The U.S. has won nine of the 11 world championships conducted since 1967, winning championships in 1967, 1974, 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2010. The U.S. finished as the runner-up in 1978 and 2006.

U.S. Women's Team: The U.S. women's team returned the World Cup to the United States by winning the FIL World Cup in 2009 in Prague, Czech Republic. It was the sixth World Cup championship (1982, 1989, 1993, 1997, 2001 and 2009) for the United States. The U.S. finished as the runner-up in 1986 and 2005.

U.S. Men's U-19 Team: The U.S. has never lost a game in international U-19 play, winning championships in 1988, 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2008. The next FIL Men's U-19 World Championship will be held in 2012 in Turku, Finland.

U.S. Women's U-19 Team : The U.S. women's U-19 program has won four consecutive world championships (1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011) after finishing as the runner-up in the inaugural championship in 1995. The United States captured its most recent FIL Women's U-19 title in Germany in August, 2011.

The FIL also conducts an indoor world championship. The U.S. team that competes in that event is not managed by US Lacrosse as the organizational focus is on the field version of the game. The U.S. finished third in the 2007 indoor world championship. The next FIL Indoor World Championship will be held in 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic.
