March 27 2025, Miami, Florida, USA — The curtain has closed on the second edition of RacquetX, and with it, America’s Racquet Week has firmly staked its claim as the most important gathering in North America for the entire racquet sports industry.

Held over three days from March 22-24 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, RacquetX surpassed expectations, welcoming 5000+ attendees (a 150% increase from 2024 including motorola raze Miami P1 attendees, 127 exhibiting brands (up from 86 last year), over 128 speakers across two immersive stages, and 12 courts for activations featuring more than 280 hours of programming. A squash court was introduced for the first time in this year’s event, in a nod to the sport’s upcoming LA28 Olympic debut.

This year’s event coincided with the Miami Open Tennis, Premier Padel’s U.S. debut, and DUPR’s College Pickleball Regional Tournament, turning Miami into a genuine racquet sports hub for one unforgettable and unprecedented week.

Among the standout moments was the Inaugural Club Summit, a powerful gathering of more than 200 club owners, general managers, directors and investors, where the future of club development and racquet sport integration was discussed in depth. The Start-Up Pitch Competition drew high praise, as 10 finalists selected from 31 applicants pitched live to a panel of investors in a Shark Tank-style showdown, with SportAI being crowned the winner.

The NPL X-Clubs Inter-Club Tournament brought competitive play to the forefront as padel and pickleball clubs battled for national bragging rights, with the crowd atmosphere electric throughout the weekend. Women’s Day featured a full court takeover, celebrating women in racquet sports through exclusive programming, player appearances, and thought-provoking panels on leadership and equity.

Speaker sessions drew large audiences, from Inside the Athlete's Mind with top professionals to discussions on Investing in the Future of Racquet Sports and a session centered on Racquet Tourism, giving attendees front-row access to some of the brightest voices in the industry.

RacquetX 2025 welcomed participants from over 25 countries and hosted more than 50 media outlets.
