The 1998 World Lacrosse Championship was the eighth edition of the international men's lacrosse championship.[4] The event took place in Baltimore, Maryland, under the auspices of the International Lacrosse Federation.[5] This was the second time that the tournament was held in Baltimore, following the 1982 tournament. Eleven teams competed in the event in two divisions.[6]

The United States successfully defended their title for the fifth consecutive time,[7] defeating Canada 15–14 in double overtime in the final.[8] The championship game – in which Canada overcame a ten-goal deficit in the third quarter to force overtime – is considered by some to be the most exciting lacrosse game in history.[9]

Australia beat the Iroquois team 17–5 for third place.

Pool play

For the pool play phase of the tournament, the teams were divided into two divisions – five in the top Blue Division and six in the Red Division. Only Blue Division participants were able to compete for the championship.
