The Uber Cup is a women’s team event that represents the highest level of badminton in the world today, and is actually the World Women’s Badminton Team Championships. Between 1956 and 2000, the BWF organised 18 editions of the Uber Cup. Like the Thomas Cup, the Uber Cup has been held every two years since 1984.
The Uber Cup was donated by Mrs Betty Uber. She was a famous British women’s badminton player in the 1930s, winning the women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles competitions at the All England Badminton Championships from 1930 to 1949. Mrs Uber was still fond of badminton after her retirement, and in order to promote the development of badminton, she formally donated a commemorative cup made by McPhee and Wiebe to the IBF at the IBF Council in 1956, which is now known as the Uber Cup, and personally presided over the draw ceremony for the first Uber Cup tournament.
The Uber Cup is 18 centimetres high and has a globe-like body with a badminton-like model at the top of the sphere, at the top of which stands a female player holding a racket. His base is engraved around the words: “Mrs. Uber in 1956 presented to the International Badminton Federation organised by the International Women’s Badminton Championship Challenge Cup”.
Despite the fact that badminton originated in Britain, and that both the Tang and You Cups were initiated by the British, and that most of the main leaders of the IBF are British, the British badminton team has not won a single Tang or You Cup trophy. On the contrary, the American girls in the first three sessions to a “three consecutive”. Since the fourth edition in 1966, the Uber Cup has remained in Asia.
