U.S. National Kubb Championship

09/11/2026

Last week we participated in the UW-Eau Claire Academic Opening Day, which was for new students. Our goal was to get as many students as possible to throw at least one baton over the two hours. We had over 200 students stop and throw at least one baton and had dozens decide to play. We had lines with students waiting to play.

We met students from every corner of Wisconsin and Minnesota, many other states, and as far away as China and Mongolia. We even got Blu to play. Thanks for the invite UWEC. Welcome to Eau Claire everyone!!

Part of our interview with Martin Wærn from Letters From America. What makes kubb special? So many things, but perhaps what it is at its core is the most. The discussion topics, pace, format, and space were perfect. Thanks again Martin.

One of the best and deepest interviews we’ve had over our 20 years. Another huge thank you to Martin Wærn for coming to Eau Claire. Here is the link to the interview and the different platforms to watch and/or listen. Martin's Letters from America interview will introduce 1,000s more people to the beautiful game of kubb. We are so appreciative to be on his 12-month road trip podcast.

Also, thank you to Embassy of Sweden in USA Volvo Car USA Airstream Volvo Trucks for partnering with Martin on his journey. Without that partnership, so many stories would not be told.

Eric's enthusiasm is unmatched by anyone I have ever met. His love for the Swedish lawn game Kubb is both deep and contagious - and his mission to spread this peace-making "war game" across America has not only made a Swedish footprint in the city of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, but has also bui

Want to know the REAL story behind the making of KINGS OF KUBB? director Eric Anderson and .anderson recently sat down with and for some hard-hitting questions (well, not really, but some very good questions!) about the making of the film. Buckle up for a behind-the-scenes roundtable nearly as long as the film! 😆

2027 Official Schedule:
All teams are welcome. As we announced previously, the 2027 U.S. Championship is open to international teams. We hope you consider coming and celebrating our 20th U.S. Championship / Family Reunion with us. If you are an association, club, team, or player outside the U.S., we’d love for you to share this with others.

All skill levels are welcome.

We will be hosting a 1 v. 1 tournament on Friday.

We have already started working with our friends at Visit Eau Claire, WI to put together a list of activities and events outside of kubb if you will be here a day or more early and/or stay in Eau Claire after.

We will be expanding the maximum number of teams.

Sunday is group play with eight groups of four teams, followed by bracket play.

We have formed a Hospitality Committee to help connect international teams with U.S. teams and families to help with tournament needs like tents, chairs, coolers, etc.

This fall, we will announce when registration will open.

All information about the 2027 U.S. Championship can be found on our website.

ALL ARE WELCOME
Kubb unites people and creates peace on Earth.

What an amazing weekend. So honored to receive this commemorative jubilee coin from the Embassy of Sweden in USA.

Friday and Saturday, we had the opportunity to tell our story of kubb in Eau Claire and in the U.S. to Martin Wærn, who is doing a 12-month roadtrip podcast discovering Swedish footprints in the U.S. He interviewed our director Eric Anderson.

The Swedish Embassy is partnering with Martin on his journey. Before departing Washington DC, Swedish Ambassador Ahlin gave Martin a collection of Jubilee Challenge Coins, that highlight the long collaboration between the two countries, as Sweden was one of the first countries to recognize the U.S., in 1783. These coins were to be given for significant achievements and/or contributions to the Swedish/American relationship.

Thank you very much Ambassador Ahlin, we are super honored, and thank you Martin for making your way to Eau Claire and wanting to hear about kubb.

We are not done yet. We are so excited for our 20th Championship in 2027, and beyond.

We highly recommend following Martin’s journey throughout the U.S. The podcasts and short interviews are a great and interesting look at both our history and many current communities in our country, and the photos and videos he is taking of our beautiful country are amazing.

Volvo Car USA Volvo Trucks Airstream and Swedish Embassy thanks for partnering with Martin on his journey. Without that, he isn’t able to tell our story, so many other stories, and we would have not had the opportunity to meet him.
