WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIPS HEADING TO NORTH CAROLINA

New Victory Lanes in Mooresville, North Carolina — a center that was deeply involved in Hurricane Helene relief efforts last fall — will host the 2027 USBC Women’s Championships.

The tournament was last held in the Charlotte area at centers in Huntersville and Matthews in 2007.

In its modern incarnation, the event typically attracts 4,000 four-player teams each year, with competition held daily from late April through late June or early July.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring this incredible event to the Charlotte/Lake Norman area,” said New Victory Lanes proprietor Paul Krein. “We’ve hosted many important tournaments over the years, but nothing of the magnitude of this event. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our beautiful area. I’m also excited for the local businesses who will all benefit so greatly from the influx of 16,000 bowlers and their families.”

The Women’s Championships will celebrate its 107th edition in 2027.

“We’re proud to bring the Women’s Championships back to the Charlotte area for the first time in 20 years,” USBC Executive Director Chad Murphy said. “Our partners at the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority, Visit Mooresville, Visit Lake Norman and New Victory Lanes will be tremendous hosts for the tournament, and we’re excited to join them in welcoming bowlers and crowning champions in 2027.”

The event will mark the tournament’s first trek to the South Atlantic since 2007 and first visit to the South since 2017 (Baton Rouge, Louisiana). Both the 2025 and 2026 events will be held at the South Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas.
