Columbia has agreed to join with XL Recordings, Adele's worldwide label, to release 19 in the US this summer.
Speaking to Billboard, XL's Richard Russell said: "She wants to work it properly, and put in time there. People are really excited about her over there."
19 topped the UK album charts when it was released in January. Her single 'Chasing Pavements' reached number two in the singles chart.
The 19-year-old singer is currently in the middle of a short American tour, which has included two sell-out shows at New York's Joe's Pub, and a gig at LA's Hotel Cafe.
