Nastia Liukin Cup Presented by Ozone kicks off competition
Accompanying American Cup on March 7 will be the annual Nastia Liukin Cup Presented by Ozone, a national competition for Level 10 women’s artistic gymnasts. Traditionally held with USA Gymnastics’ Winter Cup in late February, the 2026 Nastia Liukin Cup will now be paired with American Cup, giving the top U.S. level 10 women’s gymnasts an opportunity to compete on the same stage as their international counterparts.
American Cup competition will be broadcast live by NBC. Additional details for the event including format, competing countries, and U.S. selection process, will be announced later this year. For historical information on the event, visit the USA Gymnastics website.
