The World Lacrosse Men's Championship is the international men's field lacrosse championship organized by World Lacrosse and held every four years. It grew out of a four team invitational played in 1967 during Canada's centennial celebrations among Canada, the United States, Australia and England, repeated in Australia in 1974, after which the first international governing body for men's lacrosse was founded. The United States has won the most titles, with Canada its chief rival, and the 2018 tournament in Israel drew 46 nations, the largest field so far and the first held outside Australia, Canada, England or the United States.
