United States of America Gymnastics (USA Gymnastics or USAG) is the national governing body for gymnastics in the United States. It sets the domestic rules and policies that govern the sport, promotes and develops gymnastics on the grassroots and national levels, and serves as a resource center for members, clubs, fans and gymnasts. It selects and trains the U.S. national teams for the Olympic Games and World Championships.

Established in 1963 as the U.S. Gymnastics Federation (USGF),^[1] it received its current name in 1993. The programs governed by USAG are:

• Women's artistic gymnastics (WAG), comprising the events vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise
• Men's artistic gymnastics (MAG), comprising the events floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar
• Rhythmic gymnastics
• Trampoline & tumbling (T&T)
• Acrobatic gymnastics
• Aerobic gymnastics (designated as discipline of gymnastics by the international body, the FIG)
• Group gymnastics / Gymnastics for All

The Women's Artistic program holds multiple annual nationally televised competitions.

USAG was at the center of the largest sexual abuse scandal in sports history. Beginning in 2016, reports, testimony, investigations, and prosecutions revealed two decades of widespread sexual abuse of hundreds of young athletes by coaches, gyms, and other elements overseen by USAG.^[3]
