The United States under-19 national team captured the 2016 Slovakia Cup with a 2-1 win over Russia in the final.

Playing at Spartak Myjava Stadium in Myjava, Slovakia, the U.S. went down early when Konstantin Kuchaev scored in the 14th minute. However, the U-19s rebounded one minute later when Nelson Hunsinger tied the match off a Brandon Vazquez assist.

Pierre Da Silva won the match and the tournament with a goal in the 65th minute.
