The 2023 Coffee Bowl will be our 58th edition. Ever since the first “Copa” in 1965 the tournament has received strong international support from top players and dedicated coaches, and this has contributed enormously to our success and the tournament`s prestige.
Over the years our tournament and its costs have grown considerably. It is not possible to organize and present the Coffee Bowl without the invaluable assistance of corporate sponsors, and it has been our privilege to share our success with many sponsors over our 50 year history.
The Coffee Bowl is part of a junior circuit backed by the International Tennis Federation and supported by the tennis federations of many tennis rich countries. Our tournament is by far the oldest junior tournament in Latin America and every year the Coffee Bowl receives entries from more than 50 countries (our record is 59). We have televised night play every day, and our stadium court is filled to capacity for several nights of the week`s play. The Copa hosts up to about 3,000 spectators each day.
Famous tennis players, many of them well known professionals now and in the past, have honored us over the years with their play on the courts of the Costa Rica Country Club. A list of some of our more famous alumni and their country of origin is a list of world tennis during the past 50 years.
