44th Annual Pacific Cup International

44th Annual PACIFIC CUP INTERNATIONAL
August 10th & 11th 2024 in Vancouver, British Columbia

For 43 years, LGBT+ softball teams have come together for the Pacific Cup in the Greater Vancouver area.  Many iPride Softball member cities have visited the lower mainland, as well as non-iPride teams.  After many years at Softball City (Surrey, BC), in 2023 the Pacific Cup moved to Strathcona Park in Vancouver.  Teams from Alberta and Washington State joined BC teams to compete for WESA's signature tournament.
