History
editThe first World Cup tournament was played in 1995, only for men, in the discipline of Fronton 36m, with the modalities of Hand pelota (individual and pairs), Paleta cuero and Pala corta. The second tournament was played in 1997 in the discipline of Trinquete, including modalities of Hand pelota (men's individual and pairs), Xare, Paleta cuero and Paleta goma (men and women). The third tournament was played in 1998 in the discipline of Fronton 30m, including modalities of Frontenis (men and women) and Paleta goma (men). In 2001, the first Fronton 54m World Cup was introduced, with the modality of Cesta Punta. In 2017, FIPV organized the first World Cup of a new discipline called Frontball, though this was not included as part of the 2018 World Championships.[1] The last World Cups were held in 2021 (Fronton 30m and Fronton 54m) and were later discontinued in favor of the Basque Pelota League of Nations, which were held for the first time in 2024[2]
