Automatic Qualifiers Determined for the 2025 ITA Cup Championships

Rome, GA – After three weeks of ITA Regional Small College Championships, the automatic qualifiers are now set for the 2025 ITA Cup, the nation’s premier individual championship for the Division II, Division III, NAIA, and Junior College levels in the fall.

Earning automatic qualification by winning the singles or doubles championship at their respective ITA Regional Small College Championship, these players will now travel to Rome, Georgia where they will compete against other Regional Champions from their Division to crown a national champion.

Taking place from October 16-19 at the Rome Tennis Center, this year’s ITA Cup marks the 39th year of the tournament having begun in 1986. The format of the competition was adjusted in 1990 to reflect what fans have come to know today with competition at all four levels of play.

Across the entire field of automatic qualifiers, a majority of the nation’s top returning players have earned their spot in the ITA Cup field with the likes of Advik Mareedu (CMS), Salma Djoubri (Lynn), Santiago Villarruel (Georgia Gwinnett), and Violet Apisah (Keiser) all being past singles champions at the ITA Cup.
