When we started U.S. Steinholding Association in 2015, we knew that the goal of the organization would be to eventually put on our own National Steinholding Championship. Now, after 10 years of preparation, the time has come: the U.S. Steinholding Association National Steinholding Championship is finally here!
On November 22nd, 2025 at Moerlein Lager House in Cincinnati, Ohio, we'll be bringing the best Steinholders together from across the country to see who will reign supreme and claim the title of National Champion! The winners of both the men's and women's divisions will also take home $4,000 in cash!
To get your invitation to the National Championship, you'll have to qualify by winning one of our State Championship Tournaments or one of our new Wild Card Competitions! We know that there are great competitors out there in states where we haven't set up a State Championship yet, so we're opening up spots for venues to host a competition and sponsor competitors to represent them in the National Championship! Check out our listings of State Championship Tournaments here and our new Wild Card program information here, and talk to your local venues to get them to join the fun!
The Championship will be taking place during Moerlein Lager House's Christkindlmarkt kick-off weekend, so there will be craft vendors, great food, live music, and of course delicious beer! As a finale to the Steinholding and Oktoberfest season and the kick-off for the holiday season, we'll have the best of both worlds and it's going to be an amazing day! We hope you'll be there to have some fun with us and make Steinholding history!
