The American Cup tournament is open to any boys or girls team in the age groups U-07 through U-15. Teams will be bracketed by skill as much as possible. This is a program-wide tournament / carnival / festival for recreational, intermediate, and advanced teams from across the state, with the only caveat being that no team may participate in both the Kohl's American Cup and the US Youth Soccer New Mexico Open State Cup. The 2016 Kohl's American Cup will be held at the New Mexico Soccer Tournament Complex at Santa Ana Pueblo, Bernalillo, NM, May 14-15, 2016.
