HERE'S WHAT'S INSIDE...
The idea for an intercontinental competition evolved from pickleball’s rapid global growth experienced over the past few years. From 2010 onwards pickleball has extended into countries around the world and official tournaments are now being organized by a wide range of countries in different continents. To organize and drive the sport’s global expansion, the International Federation of Pickleball (IFP) was formed. Soon after forming, the Federation’s member countries demonstrated a growing interest in organized international competition. To meet the growing demand the IFP created the Bainbridge Cup...

The International Federation of Pickleball (IFP), Bainbridge Cup, the foremost international pickleball tournament, will be held April 7- 11, 2021, at Pictona. Pictona is a new $6 million facility in Holly Hill, Florida, part of the greater Daytona Beach area. The prestigious Bainbridge Cup, open to players from around the world, makes it first visit to the United States after previous events held in Italy, Spain and Germany. Pictona at Holly Hill is being touted as the finest pickleball facility in the world with 24 lighted courts, 8 covered courts, championship courts, a clubhouse and an onsite restaurant. The facility was designed to optimize viewing of pickleball play.
No sport can be played without rules. Rules are the foundation for an organized sport to be played under the same standards for everyone throughout the world. Here is the important imformation and how the IFP maintains the integrity on the Official Rulebook.
Earlier this year the IFP sent the IFP 2021 Official Rulebook to all member countries. This rulebook is also available on the IFP web site under 'Rules', please download to print your own copy. The rulebook is managed in a responsible manner with the cooperation of the USA Pickleball and the IFP working in harmony. The IFP rules committee has several players from our member countries to include two chair-persons.
The International Federation of Pickleball (IFP), the world governing body of pickleball, was established to perpetuate the development and growth of the sport throughout the world. The IFP’s goal is to introduce pickleball to all nations so that they may embrace the sport as one of their national sports, and ultimately to achieve official recognition by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in order to establish pickleball as an Olympic sport.
