Major honours
No world titles, but more organized squash matches played than in any other nation. US Squash, founded in 1904, is one of the sport's oldest governing bodies; its headquarters is the Arlen Specter US Squash Center on Drexel University's Philadelphia campus, which has also hosted the US Open since 2013. North America held onto its own hardball format for nearly a century before switching to international softball, and that history left behind a college circuit with no equivalent anywhere else in the world. Harvard fielded a team starting in the 1923-24 season and has since amassed 35 national team titles, while Connecticut's Trinity College won 252 consecutive dual matches from 1998 to January 2012, taking 13 straight national titles from 1999 to 2011 before finally falling to Yale 5-4. That four-time world champion Ali Farag played four years at Harvard says a great deal about the standing of this system. The only world number one produced is Natalie Grainger, born in South Africa before switching allegiance to the United States, who reached the top ranking in 2003.

Rivalry
American squash's real rivalries live on college courts. The national team championship battles among Trinity College, Harvard, Yale and Princeton are decided by the combined result of nine individual matches, and the high point was Yale's 2012 upset of Trinity's 252-match win streak.
