U.S. Cup Series
2021-2022 U.S. Cup Series
The US Cup is our premier domestic series. It provides an opportunity for the best U20 athletes from across America to compete for spots on USA Nordic teams and qualify for Junior World Championship teams in both ski jumping and nordic combined. Eleven venues, from Utah to Vermont, host events as part of the series, and USA Nordic is thrilled to be a part of the events that have been happening for over 100 years!
