# 2018 World Lacrosse Championship

The 2018 World Lacrosse Championship (Hebrew: אליפות העולם בלקרוס 2018) was the 13th edition of the international men's field lacrosse tournament for national teams organized by the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL). As many as 50 countries were expected to compete in the tournament; with the official total coming in at 46, which made the 2018 WLC the largest of all-time. The games were held in Netanya, Israel, on 12–21 July 2018. The United States won the tournament, its 10th championship in the history of the event.

## Hosting

Manchester, England was originally selected to host the tournament, but withdrew in May 2017. Instead, the championships took place in Netanya, Israel between 12 and 21 July 2018. This was the first World Lacrosse Championship played outside of the United States, Canada, England, or Australia.

## Tournament

On Thursday, 12 July, the Opening Ceremony and first games were held at Netanya Stadium, a 13,610-seat multi-use stadium which opened in 2012. It served as a host venue for the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and is the home field of Maccabi Netanya FC.
From Friday, 13 July to Saturday, 21 July, tournament games were played at Wingate Institute. Located on 50 hectares (125 acres), the Wingate Institute serves as Israel's National Centre for Physical Education and Sport. The campus's facilities host the Maccabiah Games every four years, and its primary stadium serves as the home field for the Israel National Rugby Team.

### Participating nations
