The days are getting longer, the sun’s starting to peek through the clouds (finally), and there’s a general election around the corner but what we’re most excited about is a huge summer of lacrosse in 2024!
No less than five major tournaments featuring England teams and seven Triple Arrow Camps will be keeping us busy throughout July, August, and September and we’ve got all the information you need to know ahead of such a momentous few months.
10-20 July | ELF Women’s Lacrosse Championship
The England senior women’s team are back in action at a major tournament in July for the first time since winning bronze at the 2022 World Lacrosse Women’s Championship as they look to win their eighth European title and lift the trophy for the fourth competition in a row.
Taking place in Braga, Portugal, the 2024 ELF Women’s Lacrosse Championship is the 12th edition of the tournament that first began 28 years ago in 1996.
England have been drawn in Group A alongside Netherlands, Italy, Finland, and Belgium and begin their campaign against Finland on 11 July.

19-27 July | ELF Men’s U20 Lacrosse Championship
The England U20 men’s team will travel to Wroclaw, Poland in July as they take part in the 2024 ELF Men’s U20 Lacrosse Championship.
At the last and inaugural edition of this competition in 2019, England lifted the trophy after an enthralling 9-8 victory over Germany and they’ll be looking to put in a good performance this year too with a brand new squad full to the brim with some of the most exciting young talent England has to offer.
Taking on Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, and Denmark in Group A, the tournament will be the first opportunity for many of the selected players to showcase their talents on the international stage.

Summer 2024 Triple Arrow Camps
Summer means a long break from school for young people all over the country and what better way to spend that time than by playing some lacrosse, learning from some of the best coaches in England, and making a few new friends along the way?
Well, that’s exactly what’s on offer at Triple Arrow Camps this year with seven scheduled to take place throughout August hosted by schools all around England.
If you or your child is aged between 10 and 16 of any lacrosse-playing ability, Triple Arrow Camps are the best way to keep up with those lacrosse skills during the summer break.

15-25 August | 2024 World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship
Hot off the back of an U20 European Championship victory last year, the England U20 women’s team will head to Hong Kong, China full of confidence ahead of the 2024 World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship.
Following pre-tournament wins over Scotland, Germany, and Wales, England will take on Ireland, Jamaica, and hosts Hong Kong, China in Pool D with their first game against Jamaica taking place on Friday 16 August.
The last iteration of this competition in 2019 saw England finish fourth and you can check out the full 2024 squad HERE.
20-29 September | World Lacrosse Men’s Box Championship
The England men’s box lacrosse team are back in action this year at the 2024 World Lacrosse Men’s Box Championship in Utica, New York, USA where they’ll take on Canada, USA, and Haudenosaunee in Pool A.
In 2022, England secured a first ever European Championship trophy after a final win over Germany and they’ll be hoping to put in another good showing at the World Championship after 2019’s fourth-place finish.
With a squad that boasts an all-domestic defensive unit for the first time, the 2024 World Lacrosse Men’s Box Championship is set to be the most exciting one yet.

20-29 September | World Lacrosse Women’s Box Championship
As the very first England squad heads to the very first World Lacrosse Women’s Box Championship in Utica, New York, USA in September, the 23-players will go down in lacrosse history without even throwing a ball.
They’re not just there to make up the numbers, however, with the competition truly wide open in its inaugural year and England playing in Pool A alongside USA, Haudenosaunee, Netherlands, and Hong Kong, China.
England’s first competitive fixtures earlier this year saw them win four out of five games at the annual ShE-Box tournament in Prague, Czechia.
