Among the 5 members of Team USA from the [[American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. Japan|previous tournament]], 3 of them ([[Brian Arnold]], [[Paul Kasemir]], and [[Travis Rosen]]) returned for this tournament. The last 2 men standing from [[American Ninja Warrior 6]] ([[Joe Moravsky]] and [[Elet Hall]]) joined those 3 competitors, making up Team USA.
===Team USA===
 
  +
  +
Team Japan only replaced [[Urushihara Yuuji]] in favor of [[Morimoto Yūsuke]].
  +
  +
Team Europe made their debut in this tournament, with 2 of them ([[Tim Shieff]] and [[Vadym Kuvakin]]) had competed on American Ninja Warrior before. 2 members of Team Europe (Stefano Ghisolfi and [[Sean McColl]]) were also the professional rock climbers.

==Stage 1 ==
+
==Competition Format==
  +
Unlike on the [[American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. Japan|previous tournament]], due to there were 3 teams competed, the competition worked as followed:
① [[Piston Road]]
 
  +
*From Stage One to Stage Three, there were 3 heats in each stage.
  +
*Each heat consisted of 3 competitors (1 competitor from each team).
  +
*In each heat, the competitor who completed the course (or made the furthest) in the fastest time would receive points for his respective team: 1 point for each heat in Stage One, 2 points for each heat in Stage Two, and 3 points for each heat in Stage Three.
  +
*The points would be cumulated among those three stages, and the team who got the highest points would be the champion of the tournament.
  +
*If there were at least 2 teams who got the same highest points, those teams would send one member each to scale the Stage Four tower. Whoever reached the top of the tower in the fastest time, his respective team would be the champion of the tournament.
  +
*There was no time limit to complete the stages (Stage One to Stage Four).

According to sources, the score should technically have been 6-6-6, in which all Teams would have attempted Stage Four instead of Team USA and Team Europe. It was discovered that [[Ryo Matachi]] and [[Morimoto Yūsuke]] should have won their respective heats. However, due to NBC's influence, they lost their match-ups. This caused a lot of controversy and many fans were furious about how NBC treated the Japanese team.

American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World was the second installment of American Ninja Warrior's international tournament, which was premiered on September 15th, 2014, shortly after American Ninja Warrior 6's season finale.

Competitors

Among the 5 members of Team USA from the previous tournament, 3 of them (Brian Arnold, Paul Kasemir, and Travis Rosen) returned for this tournament. The last 2 men standing from American Ninja Warrior 6 (Joe Moravsky and Elet Hall) joined those 3 competitors, making up Team USA.

Team Japan only replaced Urushihara Yuuji in favor of Morimoto Yūsuke.

Team Europe made their debut in this tournament, with 2 of them (Tim Shieff and Vadym Kuvakin) had competed on American Ninja Warrior before. 2 members of Team Europe (Stefano Ghisolfi and Sean McColl) were also the professional rock climbers.

Team USA Team Japan Team Europe

Competition Format

Unlike on the previous tournament, due to there were 3 teams competed, the competition worked as followed:

  • From Stage One to Stage Three, there were 3 heats in each stage.
  • Each heat consisted of 3 competitors (1 competitor from each team).
  • In each heat, the competitor who completed the course (or made the furthest) in the fastest time would receive points for his respective team: 1 point for each heat in Stage One, 2 points for each heat in Stage Two, and 3 points for each heat in Stage Three.
  • The points would be cumulated among those three stages, and the team who got the highest points would be the champion of the tournament.
  • If there were at least 2 teams who got the same highest points, those teams would send one member each to scale the Stage Four tower. Whoever reached the top of the tower in the fastest time, his respective team would be the champion of the tournament.
  • There was no time limit to complete the stages (Stage One to Stage Four).
