Like Germany, USA too has two Championship titles (1991 and 1999) would be looking forward to what could be their third one.

USA is the proud winner of the 1996, 2004 and 2008 Olympic Gold. They have also been Runners up at the 2000 Olympics. They have total domination over the North American Championship as they have won Six titles in Seven appearances (1991, 1993, 1994, 2000, 2002, and 2006). The only defeat the team ever witnessed was in the Semi finals of the 2010 North American Championship.
