The United States, the British Isles (most notably in Cornwall), Canada and Australia all have large followings of the game. In the United States, the game has declined in popularity since the 19th century, when it was widely regarded as the national card game, but it retains a following. Today, it is frequently regarded as a Midwestern game; although Euchre players can be found across the country, it is believed that the game is most predominant in the Midwest (particularly Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan) and a card player from that region is almost certainly expected to have heard of or played the game. Euchre is also popular in parts of Pennsylvania, because of its ties to the Pennsylvania Dutch, as well as parts of Iowa and upstate New York because of German settlement in those areas during the 19th century. In Canada, the largest following is in Ontario. The name, euchre, actually comes from the Gaelic word for teamwork.
