Tournaments continue to grow as future hosts sign on for USBC Open, Women’s Championships

ARLINGTON, Texas – Entries for the 2027 United States Bowling Congress Open and Women’s Championships are projecting toward the highest totals in more than a decade, and the continued success and growth of these events have helped secure new host commitments for 2030 and 2031, which includes two new venues.

A pair of future sites have been selected for the USBC Women’s Championships. The 2030 event is heading to The Orleans in Las Vegas, and the 2031 tournament is traveling to Bowl-A-Vard Lanes in Madison, Wisconsin.

Both venues will serve as first-time hosts for the national event. The Orleans will give bowlers at the Women’s Championships the full Las Vegas experience, with the tournament being conducted at the 52-lane center inside of the resort property. Bowl-A-Vard Lanes, featuring 40 lanes for competition, will be the first Midwest host since 2022, providing quick access to members in that region of the country.

The 2027 Women’s Championships currently approaches 4,400 registered teams for Mooresville, North Carolina, which puts the tournament on track for the largest turnout since 2016 and top team total outside of Nevada since 2011.

Las Vegas will be the site for the 2031 Open Championships as the event returns to the South Point Bowling Plaza, which is on pace to post record-setting numbers for the tournament venue next year. The 2027 event currently has more than 12,000 teams registered to compete, which puts the tournament in position to be the largest in USBC’s partnership with South Point. Next year’s trip to Las Vegas also is trending toward the largest team count at the Open Championships since 2011.

The hosting agreements for the 2030 Women’s Championships at The Orleans and 2031 Open Championships at South Point were brought together through a partnership with Las Vegas Events. The 2031 Women’s Championships in Madison was made possible through a partnership with Destination Madison and Triple Shift Entertainment, which owns and operates Bowl-A-Vard Lanes.

USBC is accepting bids from outside of Nevada to host the 2034 and 2037 Open and Women’s Championships and will welcome proposals from any new or previous host cities.

The schedule for the Women’s Championships through 2031 includes:
  • 2027 – Mooresville, N.C. (Charlotte area)
  • 2028 – Reno, Nev.
  • 2029 – Las Vegas (South Point Bowling Plaza)
