Enter The Championship Competition
In 1967, competitors shucked 12 oysters
Today, contestants face 24 oysters in our battle of the bi-valves
Open to all US citizens over 18, America’s fastest oyster openers gather annually at the US Oyster Festival to compete for the title of US National Shucking Champion, and the opportunity to represent the United States in the International Championship in Ireland.
No sloppy shuckers here
competitors are judged on both speed and presentation
To join the Amatuer Shucking Contest, register at the Shucking Arena by 1:45 daily.
Online Registration for the 2025 US National Oyster Shucking Championship is closed.
