The USA Women’s Jr National Team is participating in the 2025 IHF Trophy Women’s Jr NORCA Championships from 16-20 July in Drummondville, Quebec, Canada. This competition is a U19 event with all athletes born in 2006 or later. It also serves as qualification to two follow on events. The winner of this competition will qualify for the IHF Trophy Intercontinental Championships, while the top two teams will qualify for the 2026 IHF Jr (U20) Championship.
The 6 nations participating (Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Puerto Rico, St Kitts & Nevis, and the USA will play a full round robin. There will be no knockout phase and the group standings will determine the final team ranking.
All matches will be streamed on the IHF Drummondville YouTube Channel and I will post direct link to individual matches when they are available. Additionally, the Handball Show is experimenting with a live commentary of the matches that needs to be synched up with the match video feed.
Here’s a look at the roster and some links to follow the tournament.
