Excellence is forged in the fire of competition. Introduced in 2022, the National Senior Games Cup provides an exciting new way for states to compete against each other.

The NSG Cup is awarded to the state that wins the most medals per athlete at the National Senior Games. This “levels the playing field” for states large and small to compete for recognition and bragging rights at The Games.
