U.S. International

"U.S. Grand Prix" redirects here. For the Formula One race, see United States Grand Prix.

The U.S. International (officially Yonex / K&D Graphics International) is an open international badminton tournament held in the United States. The tournament was formerly classified as a Grand Prix level event.[1][2] In 2016, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) reclassified the tournament as an International Challenge event.[3] The 2017 edition featured both International Challenge and International Series events.[4]

While the tournament was historically held in Orange County, California, it is scheduled to return in October 2026 as the Arise International Challenge. This edition will be hosted in Brookshire, Texas, marking the return of the BWF International Challenge to the United States after a hiatus.[5]
