The 1974 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships men's competition took place between June 21–23 at Drake Stadium on the campus of University of California, Los Angeles in Westwood, California. The women's division held their championships separately a little over a hundred miles north in Bakersfield at Memorial Stadium, which had hosted the men's division the previous year. The two schools had also shared hosting the championships in 1970 with reverse roles. The women's division would compete at imperial distances, the last time that measurement system was used in the American championships. Since 1975's edition, the USATF rulebook has called for metric values.
