2025 Border Wars: All-Tournament Teams & MVPs

For the second straight year, Border Wars took place at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre (TRAC) in Oakville, ON and the Nexus University Center in Utica, NY – the two world-class lacrosse venues hosting a record-smashing 76 teams in 2025.

The highly anticipated box lacrosse tournament is hosted in partnership with TRAC Athletics and the US Box Lacrosse Association (USBOXLA).

Nearly 1,200 players from all over North America took part in this year’s Border Wars, and today we highlight the top performers in our annual All-Tournament Teams and Most Valuable Player selections.
