***UPDATE***

Team USA teams have not been confirmed. We are working through confirming athletes that have qualified for Worlds and will be moving forward on roll-downs slots in the coming weeks!

 

Team USA was created by USA Triathlon to be a team of age group/amateurs who will best represent the United States and compete in the International Triathlon Union’s (ITU) world championships, which attracts the best athletes representing over 50 countries each year.

All athletes eligible to represent the United States must:
     - Be a U.S. citizen OR
     - Be a U.S. national: someone who has resided in the US for three
     consecutive years and has not competed for their country of citizenship
     in the prior year.

Team USA eligible athletes must not have competed for their country of citizenship in the prior year. Athletes who choose to be recognized as nationals who have competed for their country of citizenship in the last year may get dispensation by obtaining a letter from the National Federation of their home country allowing competition as a USA athlete.
