The North American Junior and Young Riders Championships (NAJYRC) is the premier competition for the Young Riders, in the Olympic equestrian disciplines of Eventing, Dressage, and Show Jumping. Riders are invited to compete via each country’s national equestrian federation in North and Central American, the Caribbean, and Bermuda, as well as each province of Canada, each USA Equestrian Zone (Show Jumping), USDF Region (Dressage), and USEA Area (Eventing). The broad range of competitors attending the Championships produces an Olympics - like atmosphere throughout the competition week.

The NAJYRC is designated by the FEI as a Continental Championship and is subject to the rules and restrictions of the FEI. The FEI Rules shall supersede all other rules during the course of the NAJYRC event.
