2022 World Lacrosse Men's U21 World Championship

World Lacrosse confirmed the new dates for the 2022 World Lacrosse Men’s U21 World Championship, which will be staged from August 10-20, 2022 in Limerick, Ireland at the University of Limerick. 
 
The new dates were approved by the World Lacrosse Board of Directors following a review of possible dates and consultation with the member-National Governing Bodies expected to send teams. The World Lacrosse Men’s U21 World Championship will be hosted by Ireland Lacrosse, the National Governing Body for Lacrosse in Ireland. 
 
The age-group World Championship was originally scheduled for the summer of 2020 in Limerick but was postponed to August 2022 due to safety concerns arising from the global pandemic, along with limitations on team training and travel. 
 
Ordinarily, the upper age of eligibility for the age-group World Championship would be U20, but on a one-time basis in 2022, in order to make certain athletes are not deprived of the opportunity to compete, it is being raised to U21. 

​The dates for the Lacrosse World Festival are also now confirmed as 16-19 August 2022.
