Oklahoma City, Oklahoma: The USTRC’s National Finals of Team Roping will be taking place at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds – Sunday, October 27 through Saturday, November 2 (events begin daily, at 8AM). The Finals will utilize the Main Arena and the other two side arenas at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds for the weeklong event.

2019 will be the 30th Annual Finals; and the USTRC proudly touts their finals as the world’s largest and consecutively-running team roping event, awarding over $400,000 in prizes!

The USTRC, with humble beginnings in 1990, is the mother of a successful, competitive platform based upon a classification/numbering system. Since then, the equine performance group of team ropers has grown to a worldwide membership of 200,000; competing for over $70 million in purses each year. 

The weeklong USTRC National Finals has something for everyone. 

As a Competitor, any individual from age 17 – 99 has an event specifically tailored to him or her. As a Spectator/Fan, one can see any level of expertise rope from professional to amateur. As a Western Life Enthusiast, the USTRC National Finals will be host to the USTRC Trade Show; one of the nation’s premier western trade shows – and we all know that Christmas is right around the corner!
