Israel at the World Lacrosse Championships

This is a record of Israel at the World Lacrosse Championship. Israel has competed since 2014. In 2014, Israel finished in the 7th position out of 38 teams, after winning six of their eight games played. Prior to 2014, Israel was unable to compete due to the Israel Lacrosse Association not being officially recognized by the Federation of International Lacrosse until April 2011.[1]

2014 World Lacrosse Championship

Playing in its first-ever world championships, Israel very nearly duplicated Scotland's feat, twice narrowly falling in games that could have advanced the team into the Blue Division. After reaching the quarterfinals, the Israelis led Australia in the third quarter before dropping a tough 9-8 decision.[2] Then in a placement round game, Israel made a dramatic comeback to push England to overtime before suffering a 10-9 setback.[3] Israel finished seventh.

Israel held tryouts at Wingate Institute in Netanya in July 2013, selecting a roster of 46 men.[4] The roster consisted of both Israeli and non-Israel Jews from around the world.[4] Any Jew, due to being eligible for Israeli citizenship under the law of return may play for Israel in the tournament, based on the rules from the Federation of International Lacrosse.[5]
