Table tennis competition
2010 Euro-Asia Cup logo. The Euro-Asia Cup , more recently known as the Asia-Euro Cup or Asia-Europe All Stars Challenge , is a table tennis team competition currently held annually in China between teams of professional players representing Asia and Europe .
First held in 1986 to 1989 with singles and team events, then re-held in 2009 with only team events, in 2009 to 2013 the competition featured two events each year: one held in China and the other held in a European city. Since 2013, there has just been one event held annually in China, currently organised by the Chinese Table Tennis Association .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
Asia has won the competition nine times, compared to Europe's three wins. The European team's first two wins came in Turkey and France, and in 2015 they earned their first competition win on Asian soil, with victory in Zhangjiagang.[ 4]
