Location: TBD

Unknown if it is only for American gymnasts or if International gymnasts will be invited.

Glad to see its return after 5 years!

2026 USAG Events Calendar

Sep 4, 2025

The return of the American Cup, now as a Mixed Team event, is listed for March 3-9, 2026

This new updated calendar has Winter Cup at February 20-22 but the Bid Information for the meet previously had it listed as Feb 27-Mar 1 with the Liukin Cup still attached to it. There was talk on Twitter during Nationals of the Liukin Cup being attached to the new American Cup so I guess we'll see what happens. Maybe Winter Cup can finally break out of that white walled box of a convention hall in...

We have the format now.

So different from Euros.
2 men and 2 women.
2 teams eliminated in round 1, 2 more in round 2, final four in round three.
MAG have the same events as Euros: FX. PB. HB
WAG swapped vault for bars.

The only thing we don't know is if both women and both men compete in each round or if only one will. I hope both get to compete each round, truly makes it a mixed "team" rather than mixed pairs.

So is it up to national governing bodies to choose the teams? I can’t remember what they’ve been doing.
