Pinkster Tennis Tournament Amsterdam
About This Event
The Pinkstertoernooi is Amsterdam's LGBTIQ+ tennis tournament, held every Pentecost (Pinkster) weekend by Smashing Pink. The club was founded in 1996, after Dutch players took part in the 1994 Gay Games in New York, and is a member of the Dutch tennis federation KNLTB.
The tournament is on the GLTA international circuit. There are singles and doubles events split by level, so club players and stronger amateurs both get competitive matches. The club calls it Europe's largest LGBTIQ tennis event, with about 400 players, and play has traditionally been on the Smashing Pink courts in Amstelpark.
The 2027 dates hadn't been announced when we checked. Pentecost falls in mid-May in 2027.
