Portland Petanque Club

The Cascadia Cup has been claimed for 2026 and one of the country’s newest Petanque clubs is the Pacific Northwest Team Champion!

Congratulations to the Oregon Petanque Alliance (OPA) for their successful weekend-long campaign on the courts of the Portland Petanque Club!

Six teams from Oregon and Washington competed in six side-by-side tournaments in Singles, Doubles, and Triples matches in a round robin format where each team faced all others at some point over the weekend. The weather was perfect, the competition was top notch, and most importantly, the camaraderie within and between the clubs was first and foremost. When it all shook out and points were totaled, the teams finished in the following order:

🥇 Oregon Petanque Alliance
🥈 Port Townsend Petanque Alliance
🥉 Portland Petanque Club
4th Seattle Petanque Club
5th Eugene Petanque International Club
6th Edmonds Petanque Club

Thank you to all participants, organizers and volunteers!
