This year’s Mayor’s Cup is shaping up to be a historic event in Miami’s slow-pitch softball community. For the first time ever, the tournament will feature a Women’s Division, a significant milestone for the sport in Miami. While the men’s division celebrates its 12th annual competition, the introduction of the women’s division signals a growing commitment to inclusivity and the development of women’s softball at the local level.
On September 14th at Shenandoah Park, talented women’s teams will take to the field to compete for the very first Miami Mayor’s Cup Women's title. Sponsored by Mayor Francis Suarez, this addition is a testament to the growing influence of female athletes in the world of slow-pitch softball and highlights the city's ongoing efforts to provide more opportunities for women in sports.
As the inaugural year for the Women’s Division, expectations are high, and the competition promises to be fierce. Women from across the city are ready to showcase their skills, strategy, and athleticism, creating an exciting atmosphere of friendly competition and community spirit. Miami has long been a strong supporter of softball, and this year’s addition of the women’s division is a long-awaited step toward furthering the sport’s development.
The International Slow Pitch Softball (ISPS) organization, which continually strives to create new opportunities for slow-pitch athletes, is excited about this new chapter. According to ISPS Commissioner Manuel T. Ferrero III, "Bringing a Women’s Division to the Miami Mayor’s Cup is a major step forward. It reflects the growing enthusiasm and skill level in women’s slow-pitch, and we are thrilled to be part of this historic moment."
With the backing of Mayor Suarez, the Mayor’s Cup has become one of the city's premiere events, and this year’s expansion into a women’s division will only add to its prestige. The event is not just about crowning champions—it’s about celebrating the rise of women in slow-pitch softball and the sense of community and opportunity the tournament fosters.
This first-ever Women’s Division is expected to draw large crowds of supporters, from fellow athletes to local fans eager to cheer on their favorite teams.
