The famous rivalry, reborn, through the world’s fastest growing sport

What do the America’s Cup, Davis Cup, and Ryder Cup all have in common?

They all began as fiercely fought competition between two of the world’s most storied sporting nations––Great Britain and the United States of America.

For over 174 years, Britain and America have competed for the biggest prizes in sport. Now, however, a bold new chapter is about to unfold.

This October, the iconic transatlantic rivalry will take to the padel court for the first time as the inaugural Anglo-American Padel Cup descends on The Padel Hub in North London. Two famous nations. One New Cup. A battle for padel supremacy begins.
