After 28 Years, the Team Competition Returns to Myrtle Beach, SC on Labor Day Weekend
Colorado Springs, CO (December 9, 2024) — USA Table Tennis (USATT) is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of the US Open Team Table Tennis Championships, set to take place August 29–31, 2025, in the beautiful vacation destination of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This marks the revival of one of the most celebrated events in USATT’s history, absent since its last successful edition in Detroit, Michigan (1997), where it drew over 700 participants.
The 2025 US Open Team Championships are proudly presented by Butterfly North and South America, the premier equipment provider for USA Table Tennis. Butterfly’s commitment to supporting world-class table tennis events ensures that players will enjoy top-tier equipment and an unforgettable tournament experience.
“We at Bowmar Sports, the North & South American distributor of Butterfly, are delighted to partner with USA Table Tennis to present the 2025 US Open Team Championships,” said Bowie Martin Jr. of Butterfly North America. “As sponsors of the Team Championships in Detroit during the 1980s and 1990s, we are thrilled to see its return. The camaraderie of team competition is a truly special experience, and the combination of this exciting format, USA Table Tennis’ professional standards, and the allure of Myrtle Beach makes this event a can’t-miss opportunity for players and fans alike.”
Virginia Sung, CEO of USATT, echoed the enthusiasm, saying, “The US Open Team Championships has a special place in the history of table tennis in America, and we are incredibly excited to bring this iconic event back to life. Myrtle Beach, with its world-class facilities and vibrant atmosphere, will set the stage for an unforgettable competition that embodies the spirit of teamwork and excellence.”
Vlad Farcas, Event Coordinator for USATT, highlighted Myrtle Beach as the ideal host city: “Myrtle Beach is the perfect place for a team tournament. The venue features a 5-star facility with all courts equipped with rubber flooring on top of wood, ensuring the highest playing standards. Beyond the tournament, players and their families can enjoy countless activities near the venue, from stunning beaches to fantastic dining and entertainment options. Combine that with amazing beach weather over Labor Day Weekend, and you have all the ingredients for a phenomenal event.”
