The World Championship Field Has Grown By About 0.7 Teams a Year

Fitting a straight line through the men's field size against edition year gives a slope of 0.74 teams per year (r²=0.77), rising from 4 teams at the 1967 edition to 30 at the 2023 edition. The women's field fits a slope of 0.47 teams per year (r²=0.72), from 6 to 16.

Despite that growth, the title has stayed concentrated: United States has won 21 of the 26 men's and women's championships contested, a 81% share, with Canada the only other country to have won more than one.

How the Numbers Were Made

Finishes come from Wikipedia's 'Performance by tournament' (men's) and 'Past results' (women's) tables on the World Lacrosse Men's/Women's Championship articles, both citing World Lacrosse's own official event-history pages (377 rows after melting each team's per-edition finish out of the wide table format, retrieved 13 September 2026).

The unplayed 2027 men's edition is excluded entirely: none of its cells are a completed finish yet (some show 'already qualified'). A country's finish_rank is the leading number in Wikipedia's ordinal text (e.g. '3rd' to 3); shared placements (two teams both finishing, say, 5th) appear as identical ranks on separate rows.
