The USACA North American Open Championship Perpetual Trophy was commissioned in 2003 and is awarded to the top finisher in the annual USACA North American Championship, regardless of nationality. The inscriptions were updated to reflect past winners back to 1997 when the North American Championship was held in conjunction with the World Championships in Long Beach, CA. If a competitor from North America wins the event, they are awarded both the USACA North American Open perpetual trophy and the heritage "Moro" trophy described above.
