ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The USBG is proud to be the official U.S. delegate to the International Bartenders Association (IBA)—a global community spanning more than 70 countries. Each year, the IBA brings the world’s best bartenders together through thrilling competitions globally. Now, it’s our turn.

 We’re kicking off the nationwide search for Team USBG 2026—the bartenders who will carry the flag, showcase their craft, and represent the United States on the world stage. This is your chance to step up, shake things up, and make history.
