The 2027 Dallas Cup, presented by Coca-Cola, will take place in Texas from 21st to 28th March, with Palace joining 11 other leading academies from across the world in one of youth football’s most prestigious competitions.
An invitation-only tournament, the Gordon Jago Super Group features 12 teams competing in the Under-19 section, split into three groups of four, with the leading sides progressing to the semi-finals and final.
Founded in 1980, the Dallas Cup is the oldest international youth tournament in the United States and has a long-standing association with English football.
Premier League giants including Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea have all previously taken part, while West Ham United (1992), Nottingham Forest (2002), Liverpool (2008), Fulham (2013) and Everton (2016) are the only English sides to have lifted the Gordon Jago Super Group trophy to date.
Palace will now look to become the sixth English club to claim the honour, as the club continues to showcase the strength of its Academy programme on the global stage.
The Young Eagles had originally been due to make their debut in 2026, but were forced to withdraw due to a congested fixture schedule after winning the U18 Premier League Cup and reaching the FA Youth Cup semi-finals for the first time in almost 30 years.
Further details regarding the tournament, including Palace’s opponents and fixture schedule, will be confirmed and communicated to supporters in due course.
