An All-American team is an honorary sports team composed of the best amateur players of a specific season for each team position—who in turn are given the honorific "All-America" and typically referred to as "All-American athletes", or simply "All-Americans".

Walter Camp selected the first All-America team in the early days of American football in 1889.[1]
From 1947-1980, the American Baseball Coaches Association was the only All-American selector recognized by the NCAA.[2]
