The USA Cup is the largest international youth soccer tournament in the Western hemisphere. It was founded by Ivar Sorensen and Ingeborg Sorensen in cooperation with the Sons of Norway in 1985.

The first year there were 78 teams, and in the most recent year (2015) the tournament had over 16,000 athletes from American states and countries around the world.

The tournament is held in July every year in Blaine, Minnesota, at the National Sports Center. The facility has over 50 football fields, as well as softball fields, indoor ice hockey rinks, and a cycling velodrome.
