Saipan International 2025
12 – 16 AUGUST 2025
Badminton Oceania and Northern Marianas Badminton Association (NMBA) are delighted to announce the return of two International Challenge tournaments to the BWF Calendar in 2025, taking place back-to-back in July. The two weeks of excitement begin with the CROWNE PLAZA Northern Marianas Open 2025 (5-10 August) and culminating with the Saipan International 2025 (12-16 August). This tournament typically attracts high-level competition from across the Pacific and Asia.
The Northern Marianas Islands is a territory of the United States, sitting within Micronesia – a collection of islands in the northwest region of Oceania, also including Guam (another member association of Badminton Oceania), Palau, the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia. Typically, the country is frequented by tourists from East Asia, the closest being the Philippines which is just over a 4-hour flight away.
