Who We Are
Founded in 1989 in Tempe, Arizona, at Arizona State University, the Arizona Cup quickly grew beyond its original home as participation and recognition increased. In 2001, the event moved to the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix, where it has continued to build its reputation as one of the premier target archery events in the region.
In 2027, we are proud to celebrate the 37th anniversary of the Arizona Cup with the 2027 AAE Arizona Cup.
The Arizona Cup is a U.S. Archery Team Qualifier Series (USAT) Event, attracting top athletes from across the United States and around the world. Its long-standing history, competitive field, and Arizona setting have made it a highly anticipated event on the target archery calendar.
The 2027 event also marks a new chapter for the Arizona Cup, with the Arizona Target Archery Association (ATAA) assuming management of the event. As an Arizona nonprofit dedicated to supporting and growing target archery throughout the state, ATAA is excited to carry forward the tradition of the Arizona Cup while building an event that continues to serve athletes, coaches, officials, clubs, and the broader archery community.
37 years of Arizona Cup history. A new chapter begins in 2027.
