About:

The GB Cup will take place in Thurso, Scotland, from October 24th to 26th, 2025. However, it’s expected that the event will not require the full three-day window to complete.

Event guide:

Twelve-person teams from England, Wales, the Channel Islands, and the host nation, Scotland, will compete for the coveted overall team title, as well as individual honours in both the Open Men’s and Open Women’s divisions. England enters as the defending champions, having claimed the title in Jersey last year.

The competition returns to Scotland for the first time since 2021, when it was held during the COVID pandemic. Hosting duties rotate annually among the home nations, and in 2025, Scotland has the honour of welcoming the event once again. Thurso, renowned for some of Europe’s best waves, was chosen as the venue. The area has a long-standing history of hosting prestigious events, dating back to the early 1980s with both British and European Championships.
