The United States National American Football Team often referred to as Team USA represents the United States in international men's American football (Tackle Football) competitions. It is currently controlled by USA Football and is recognized by the International Federation of American Football (IFAF). The team is currently ranked no.1 in the world in tackle Football by the IFAF.[2]
Team USA has won the IFAF World Championship three times (most recently in 2015); which are the most championships won by a country for the tournaments. Team USA won a bronze medal at the World Games (2017) and two silver medals in the World University American Football Championship (2016 and 2018).
During 2015, a split between IFAF Paris and IFAF New York occurred, in which IFAF Paris expelled USA Football in 2017.[3] USA Football was temporary replaced by the United States Federation of American Football in Paris, while New York retained USA Football as their active member. The United States Federation of American Football would manage the 2017 national team at the World Games.[4]
In March 2018, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) determined that the IFAF New York was the proper governing entity and voided all decisions of the other IFAF entity, including their decision to strip USA Football of its recognition.[5] USA Football is currently the internationally recognized sole governing body for American football in the United States.[6]
