American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World 3 was the fourth installment of American Ninja Warrior's international tournament (after USA vs. Japan and 2 previous USA vs. The World tournaments), which was filmed on June 17th, 2016 and premiered on June 4th, 2017 (8 days before American Ninja Warrior 9's season premiere).
Possibly due to the performances from the previous international competitions, Team Japan would not participate in this tournament for the first time. Instead, Team Latin America would make their American Ninja Warrior's international tournament debut. Also, there were 6 members for each team instead of 5. However, during the taping of Stage One, Tim Shieff suffered a knee injury while warming up, and wasn't able to compete for the rest of the tournament. Therefore, he was replaced by Bjarke Tรธnnesen,
Among the 6 members of Team USA for this tournament, 4 of them made their American Ninja Warrior's international tournament debut, including the first female competitor to be member of Team USA, Jessie Graff. Also, among the 6 members of Team Europe for this tournament, 2 of them made their American Ninja Warrior's international tournament debut (Owen McKenzie from United Kingdom and Bjarke Tรธnnesen from Denmark).
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 their respective team: 1 point for Stage One, 2 points for Stage Two, and 3 points for Stage Three.
The points would be accumulated among those stages, and the team who got the highest points would be the champion of the tournament.
If there were multiple teams tied, each team would send one member to attempt Stage Four, and whoever reached the top of the tower in the fastest time would win the tournament championship for their team.
