UTICA, NEW YORK — The North American Invitational (also known as “LAXNAI”), the world’s largest international box lacrosse tournament, is back in Utica in 2025 with games taking place on four rinks under one roof at the Utica University Nexus Center and the Adirondack Bank Center at the Utica Memorial Auditorium. 

The tournament, which was originally launched in 2016 at the Onondaga Nation Fieldhouse, is held annually each September.  The event is always chock full of pro players shaking off the rust ahead of NLL camps, as well as dozens of international and NCAA stars, and amateur prospects looking to prove their worth against the world’s best. Teams from not just across the continent, but from abroad, have competed in the NAI, such as Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Scotland and US Virgin Islands.
