operations for the Haudenosaunee Nationals. “To our players and the nations they
represent, this trip has meaning beyond sports. Lacrosse is how we tell our story. Every
tournament gives us a platform to share the Creator’s Game with the world, and every
win serves as a reminder that lacrosse’s originators are still among the best of the best.”
All participants from both sides of the bracket are in action on day one. The men will
begin their slate with a bout against Canada, the top Sixes team in the world according
to World Lacrosse. The women will face off against the top team on their side of the
bracket, and the tournament’s host nation, the United States. Every match of the Atlas
Cup will be streamed live and for free on the USA Lacrosse YouTube Channel.
The Haudenosaunee teams both placed third in last year’s inaugural Atlas Cup.
The Haudenosaunee men’s Sixes team is currently ranked No. 5 in the world. The
Nationals’ women’s team, No. 3 in box and No. 4 in field, will be looking to rise in the
World Lacrosse rankings for the Sixes discipline.
