Badminton has been relatively unknown and unappreciated in the United States. Following its introduction in New York in 1878, the sport developed slowly. The American Badminton Association (ABA), the first national badminton organization in the United States, was formed in 1936. The ABA held the first U.S. National Championships in Chicago in 1937 and the first national junior tournament in 1947. The U.S. men’s team played very well throughout the 1950s, making the final round of the Thomas Cup several times. The U.S. women dominated Uber Cup competition from 1957 through 1966. The first national intercollegiate championship was held in 1970. Interest and money in professional sports increased geometrically during the 1970s, but the general public’s perception of badminton as a slow-paced, leisurely game was and is a misconception. In recent years, interest has increased substantially. The ABA was reorganized in 1977 and became the United States Badminton Association (USBA). In 1985, badminton was adopted as a full medal sport for the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. Badminton was a demonstration sport in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. The inclusion of badminton as an Olympic sport encourages optimism for its future popularity, recognition, and success. The USBA is currently the national governing body representing badminton on the United States Olympic Committee.
