MARCH 13-17 | Baton Rouge, Louisiana
2024 NMRA National Championships

LIVE and ready to register … commit to some great fun in a great place, by following links below to get full entry details for our first event of 2024. Hotel and sight-seeing info has been updated, so start planning now for an outstanding NMRA National Championship at LSU in Baton Rouge!

As always, NMRA Nationals are played in self-officiated round-robins, guaranteeing plenty of high-level play and top-rate sportsmanship. Join good friends who share your passion for racquetball and value fair competition among peers. Our destination events always offer a unique experience and great tournament souvenir, along with a solid schedule, capped by an evening awards banquet to celebrate the week.

The LSU flagship campus in Baton Rouge is considered one of the most beautiful in the country – from its Italian-Renaissance inspired architecture dating back to the 1920s, to the 1,200 live oaks shading every path. The expansive West Gym of the University Recreation Center houses nine glass backwall courts to host our competition, and the high energy of this facility sets just the right tone. We can’t wait!

After a great event in 2021, the NMRA is thrilled to return to the famous Glass Court in Lombard to present the 40th Annual IRF World Seniors International Championships. That’s right … we’ve partnered with the International Racquetball Federation to combine these elite summer playoffs into one sensational Masters event!

After many years in New Mexico over the Labor Day weekend, the IRF World Seniors Racquetball Championships will now move up in time, date and latitude. In Chicago, we’ll now enjoy four days of top-flight competition, in a three-games-to-11 match format, fielded in age groups as young as 30. We will NOT use IRF rally scoring, but may compete with the Gearbox Black Ball, and we hope to offer Squash57 as well. We’re ready to secure a second club to accommodate the larger fields and we strongly urge players to sign up early in case we need to cap the entries or divisions.

Organizers are very excited to combine these two long-standing events, so don’t delay making your plans to take part! Book your stay at the Embassy Suites now (only 35 rooms per night are reserved) and reach out to Cindy Tilbury or Gary Mazaroff for any questions. 

Our historic venue has hosted the top professional tour athletes for decades and showcased legendary competition on its three-wall glass fishbowl show court. You’ll want to arrive early to get used to the courts, see some sights, and relax before your round robins begin – then be ready to enjoy good company, food and fun all weekend, plus our famous banquet slideshow and a great tournament shirt.

Our host hotel will be the player-favorite Embassy Suites Lombard Oak Brook, known for its famous hot breakfasts, free happy hour drinks, amazing hospitality, and spacious suites. Local TD and long-time organizer Cheryl Kirk was able to secure a great room rate of $159 per night for one or two persons for a King room – but act fast to book now! A limited number of rooms are blocked off for us, shuttle service will run from the host hotel only, and our Saturday night banquet will take place right there in the ballroom.
