The Inter-Regional tournament is Petanque England’s biggest annual competition and is the highlight of the Petanque year for many PE members. The tournament comprises two divisions, and within each division there is a Championship (eight teams per regional squad) and a Challenge (four teams per regional squad).
Each team within a Region’s squad is ranked, and plays against equally-ranked teams from all other Regions in their division.
The President’s Cup aggregates the score of all a Region’s squads – both Championship and Challenge – to find the overall best-performing region.
Participating PE Regions hold qualifying competitions to select their players, and the Regions then enter their squads in the competition (it is not possible for individuals to enter directly). Booking of accommodation is also done via the Regions, who make bookings for their team.
2025
Petanque England’s 2025 Inter Regionals were held for the first time at Sand Bay Holiday Village near Weston Super Mare in mid-September 2025, with around one thousand competitors from across the UK mostly staying on site and playing on specially constructed terrains.
2026
The tournament will again be held at Sand Bay Holiday Village. More accommodation and more terrains are planned in order to alleviate some of the pressure points encountered in 2025.
Please Note:
Booking is only via PE Regions; details and opening date will be sent directly to regional contacts in due course. It is not possible for individuals to book directly. All attendees must pay the accommodation-inclusive fees, even if staying off-site.
