USA Fencing’s 2025-26 regional slate features 98 tournaments across 32 weekends, giving fencers of every age a high-level test (and a pathway to Nationals) in their own backyard.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — From New Haven to New Orleans to new heights everywhere in between, the 2025-26 USA Fencing Regional Tournament season promises to keep strips buzzing almost every weekend of the year.
Kicking off with the Wuxi International Regional Circuit on Aug. 9 and wrapping next July, the brand-new calendar packs 98 sanctioned tournaments into 32 “tournament weekends.” Every corner of the country gets its share: each region boasts at least 12 events and as many as 22, plus two international stops for U.S. athletes living abroad.
These regional events — including ROC, RJCC, RYC and more — deliver top-notch competitive experiences for Y8 fencers through veterans. Just as important, they’re the official pathway to USA Fencing National tournaments such as the Junior Olympics and Summer Nationals. Strong performances earn qualifying points, improve seeding and build the big-stage confidence coaches love.
Registration for the first events opens June 1 and is completed through each member’s profile at https://member.usafencing.org/.
Popular tournaments can fill fast, so you'll want to register as early as you can. Many weekends feature companion circuits (for example, a youth RYC alongside a cadet and junior RJCC), making a single trip productive for an entire club or fencing family.
Hosting quality tournaments requires partners, and USA Fencing is proud to note that our Regional Tournament Series is made possible thanks to support from AEON School.
We also want to thank our tournament organizers — including those hosting tournaments in 2025-26 and those whose bids this year were unsuccessful. We received many impressive bids, but there are only so many open weekends each year. We encourage everyone to bid again next season.
But first, we've got some fencing to get to!
