The World's Premier Collegiate Pickleball Championship
When & Where
Exact dates to be announced. This is the inaugural international edition of the College Pickleball Cup — block your calendar and follow NCPA for the official announcement.
Venue and city TBA. As the first-ever international collegiate pickleball championship, we're securing a world-class facility worthy of the occasion.
Compete as your university or assemble a national country team. Players from multiple universities within the same country can unite under one flag — Team Venezuela, Team Kenya, Team Brazil, and beyond. All players must be enrolled university students.
The National Collegiate Pickleball Association and The Pickleball Cup have joined forces to deliver the first-ever international collegiate pickleball championship.
Country Teams
Represent Your Nation
You don't have to compete as a single university. Countries can assemble a national team from players across multiple universities — as long as every player is a currently enrolled university student. Rally the best collegiate talent from your entire country and compete under your flag.
Your country not listed? Any nation is welcome.
Registration
Individual competitors sign up through the NCPA platform. Connect with a team or register as a solo player seeking a squad.
Leading a university team? Captains manage rosters, brackets, and coordinate with NCPA reps throughout the tournament.
NCPA charges a flat $10 per player fee. Universities set their own bracket entry fee (minimum $20 per player) and keep 100% of those collected funds — making this an outstanding fundraising opportunity for your program.
Brackets
Live brackets open in a new tab once registration closes.
Pool play into single elimination — all brackets available through the NCPA tournament platform.
