We use World Lacrosse's, the leagues' and the national bodies' own reports first, then conference, school and established press reports. Where a result rests on Wikipedia or on a search summary of a page we could not open, the page says so plainly. Where sources disagree, we give each version and who says it. No prize money, salaries or other money figures appear on these pages.

Wellington is World Lacrosse's name for the Asia-Pacific venue; Wikipedia names Upper Hutt. Athletes Unlimited suspended its women's Pro Lacrosse league indefinitely on 18 December 2024, so it had no 2026 season. Lacrosse was not played at The World Games in 2026, and we found no World Lacrosse box, under-20 or under-21 championship in 2026.
