U.S. Steinholding Association State Championships

Our State Championship Tournaments will bring the best Steinholders from across each state together to battle it out for the title of 2025 State Steinholding Champion! We're working with bars, breweries, restaurants, festivals, and more to set up qualifying round locations across participating states so it's easy for Steinholders to find a place to compete and qualify. The winners from each Qualifying Venue will be invited to move on to the finals where the toughest, most determined men's and women's competitors will be crowned the 2025 State Champions and winning eternal glory! No only that, for the first time EVER, the State Champions will also earn the opportunity to represent their state at the inaugural U.S. Steinholding Association National Championship Finals Event! This year's State Champions will ALSO receive prizes from our sponsor at BavariaTrachten.com where you can use the discount code STEINHOLDING any time to get 10% off any purchase all season long!
