Dear Ultimate Community,

We are very proud to announce the second EuroStars Tour and the official launch of the Americus Pro Cup 2018.

What is that?

The Americus Pro Cup (think Ryder Cup for Women's Ultimate) will be contested between Europe and America. The EuroStars: a group of 16 Elite European Women players will travel to seven North American Cities to play the best of the best USA and Canadian Ultimate Women’s club teams in a two-week period starting August 14th.

After a very successful 2017 Tour we have attracted a lot of attention globally and have now partnered up with the AUDL to develop and progress the first ever women’s professional series: The Americus Pro Cup. Providing an exciting platform to showcase some of Europe and North America's best female athletes!



Our mission is to promote gender equity in Ultimate through professional, elite level women’s games and clinics with key objectives to:​

HIGHLIGHT the widespread female talent found across Europe.

PROVIDE dedicated European women the opportunity to play semi professionally in a team deep with talent.

SHARE spirit globally, in all its glorious international flavours.

PROMOTE and feature female athletes.

Who?

The Founder: Rebecca Forth has played international ultimate at the highest level for twenty three years. She has played, captained and coached women’s ultimate in the UK, U.S. and international teams. Her early career exposure to N.Y. players in London framed the possibilities for UK women’s teams before the UK women’s tour existed. Throughout her playing career she has passionately focused on maximising performance and professionalism for all teams she has been involved with and increasing female players’ expectations of themselves. She captained Bliss (UK) and SuperHotPot (international) to 10 victories at Paganello. She captained Iceni and Bliss to many UK National and European titles and managed the GB world games team in 2013. “We were blown away by the response to last year’s tour. The support was incredible and the feedback we received was dizzying. We aimed to inspire and more than anything we inspired each other to do more. I can’t wait to see what a bigger and better version will spark off.”

Our roster is now fully confirmed, and we are thrilled to include 12 nationalities. Go check these world class, amazing players out!
