USA Fencing March North American Cup

For the first time since 2019, more than 2,500 of the nation’s best young fencers (ages 8 to 16) are headed to Cleveland to compete in the March 2025 North American Cup, hosted by USA Fencing!

The March North American Cup offers an exciting opportunity to witness world-class athleticism and fierce competition right here in Cleveland. Spectator admission is free, and the tournament is open to the public. The competition will be four days of nonstop fencing, from 8 a.m. until each day’s medal ceremony, usually around 8 or 9 p.m. Fencing features three distinct weapons (epee, foil and saber), each with their own rules and strategy.

National points will be awarded to the top 32 fencers in men’s and women’s Cadet, Y10, Y12 and Y14 Team and Division events. The March North American Cup is the final national qualifying tournament for Y10, Y12 and Y14 fencers hoping to compete at the 2025 USA Fencing Summer Nationals in June; the top finishers in Cleveland will punch their ticket to the national championships this summer!
