2014 World Lacrosse Championship

Playing in its first-ever world championships, Israel very nearly duplicated Scotland's feat, twice narrowly falling in games that could have advanced the team into the Blue Division. After reaching the quarterfinals, the Israelis led Australia in the third quarter before dropping a tough 9-8 decision. Then in a placement round game, Israel made a dramatic comeback to push England to overtime before suffering a 10-9 setback. Israel finished seventh after defeating Blue Division squad Japan.

Israel held tryouts at Wingate Institute in Netanya in July 2013, selecting a roster of 46 men. The roster consisted of both Israeli and non-Israel Jews from around the world. Any Jew, due to being eligible for Israeli citizenship under the law of return may play for Israel in the tournament, based on the rules from the Federation of International Lacrosse.
