USA Winning Record in U19 World Cup
Unfortunately, the USA U19 cricket team has yet to secure a victory in the U19 Cricket World Cup, facing formidable opponents and experiencing challenging outcomes in previous tournaments. In both 2006 and 2010, the team was placed in Group B, pitted against cricket powerhouses such as Australia, West Indies, South Africa, and Ireland. The 2006 campaign saw the USA U19 team suffer defeats against Australia, West Indies, and South Africa. Similarly, in 2010, they were unable to cause any upsets at this level, falling short against Australia, South Africa, and Ireland. These experiences have undoubtedly highlighted the steep learning curve and tough competition that the USA U19 team has encountered in the U19 Cricket World Cup.
| Year | Result |
| 2006 | First round |
| 2010 | First round |
This year, we can say they have much better chances to register their first win in this tournament against Bangladesh or Ireland as they are the teams who at times can be unpredictable and can choke on bad days. A single victory in Group A for USA Cricket will inspire many young cricketers in the country to take up this beautiful sport and represent their country.
