G1 Special in San Francisco

G1 Special in USA[4] was a two-day professional wrestling event promoted by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). The two shows took place on July 1 and 2, 2017, in Long Beach, California, United States at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center. These were the first NJPW shows that the promotion had produced independently in the U.S.

The event's name refers to the annual G1 Climax tournament as these shows also served as a prelude to the 2017 G1 Climax. The event is notable for the crowning of the inaugural IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion.
