Peace Queen Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

After the success of the Men's Peace Cup, a Women's Peace Cup was created. The inaugural Women's Peace Cup took place from October 28 to November 4, 2006, in South Korea, with eight women's national teams representing five continents: North Korea, South Korea, Denmark, Italy, Brazil, Australia, Nigeria and the United States. On October 11, about a month before the start of the tournament, North Korea pulled out for political reasons tied to their country's nuclear testing program. North Korea was replaced by the Netherlands. Nigeria was replaced by Canada.

From June 14 to 21, 2008, Peace Queen Cup Suwon will host its second tournament. In this tournament, eight teams will participate: Korea Republic, Korea DPR, USA, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Italy and Argentina. Format and prize money will be the same as before.
