PLL launches international lacrosse tournament borrowing from NHL model

The Premier Lacrosse League announces the Lexus Global Lacrosse Games, a four-team international tournament scheduled for December 8–13 in Washington, D.C. The event aims to replicate the success of recent international sports tournaments. PLL co-founder Paul Rabil detailed plans to include teams from the U.S., Canada, Japan, and potentially Australia. The tournament will run for two seasons leading into the 2028 Summer Olympics, where lacrosse will return as a medal sport. Rabil hopes the event will enhance viewer engagement and serve as preparation for Olympic play.
