USDAA® is excited to announce Team USA for the 2026 IFCS World Agility Championships in Valencia, Spain. A full team of 30 dogs and 27 handlers will compete at the event April 28-May 3.
The team was chosen from applicants who submitted videos and a list of any notable accomplishments. Selected team members demonstrated experience, skills and speed. Results from the 2025 Cynosport World Games also played a role in team selection. We welcome both returning members and new faces to our team, and we look forward to seeing them perform their best on the world stage.
All 30 dogs will compete in the Individual All-Around and Biathlon classes at the event. Dogs from the small and large categories will combine to form 5 teams for the Team Triathlon competition, which consists of a standard run, a jumping run, and a relay event.
Thank you to all our applicants, team members and alternates!
