The United States Bartenders’ Guild proudly serves as the official U.S. delegate to the International Bartenders Association (IBA), a global network spanning more than 70 countries.

The United States Cocktail Championship (USCC) is where the journey begins at home.

Launched in 2026, the USCC is a nationwide competition designed to identify, elevate, and celebrate American bartending talent—from local communities to the global stage. Through this program, USBG selects Team USBG, the bartenders who will represent the United States at the World Cocktail Competition (WCC) in Macau, China.
