The biggest and best international fastpitch tournament in Canada is set to return!
The acclaimed Canada Cup Women’s International Softball Championship will run from June 28 to July 7 at Softball City, Surrey. The 2024 event has more than 1500 elite athletes already confirmed to compete, including the Canadian National team.
In addition to Team Canada, some of the world’s best teams will take part including Australia, Chinese Taipei, Czechia, Greece, Hong Kong, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, and TC Colorado.
“At this year’s Canada Cup we will be privileged to witness some of the world’s finest athletes, who are readying themselves for the upcoming 2024 World Championships in Italy,” says Softball Canada President Scott Neiles. “Their presence adds an unparalleled level of excitement and anticipation to the competition. We wish our women’s national team led by Coach Kaleigh Rafter the best of luck and we are confident that they will do their utmost to make Softball Canada proud both on and off the field.”
The tournament will showcase some of the top female athletes from all-across Canada and the world at the national and club level. The event includes five divisions: Women’s International, Futures Select (U19), Futures Gold (U19), Showcase Select (17U) and Showcase Gold (17U).
The Ukrainian Women’s Junior National Softball Team is set to compete in the Futures Gold (U19) after becoming one of the most heartwarming stories of the 2023 Canada Cup. Last year, the City of Surrey, more than 500 individual donations and an amazing show of support from the BC business community combined to raise over $60,000 in just over a week to bring the teenagers to Softball City, and the Canada Cup is thrilled they can return for this year’s tournament.
