The U.S. national team will be seeking its sixth, consecutive co-ed premier world title at the 2023 ICU World Cheerleading Championships. The event returns to Orlando and the Wide World of Sports Complex.
Team USA won titles in 2022, 2021, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016 (the event was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 global pandemic). The last time the U.S didn’t capture the title at the event was 2015 when they finished with silver behind Chinese Taipei.
Last year’s silver and bronze medallists in co-ed premier were Germany and Finland, respectively.
In the All Girl Premier category, Finland will be seeking a fifth-straight win after holding off the USA and Germany for the title a year ago.
