16 to 18 October 2026 · Second Edition
WPF Ladies Weekend 2026
For three days, women’s poker had no time zone
One Weekend, Thirteen Countries
From October 16 to 18, the second WPF Ladies Weekend brought women to the tables in 13 countries at the same time, at more than 20 venues on five continents.
Organized by the WPF Women’s Committee, the event recorded more than 2,000 entries in Brazil, Bulgaria, England, Estonia, France, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, the Philippines, South Africa, Taiwan and the United States.
The idea stayed simple: the same weekend, a different poker night in every city, and one shared goal of putting more women at the table.
São Paulo hosted the biggest field, Israel made a record debut, London sold out its study bootcamp, and the United States played across 11 venues in 8 states, from the Bellagio in Las Vegas to Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

What makes this weekend special is seeing women come together, learn from each other and feel they belong at the table. From Israel joining us for the first time to a sold-out bootcamp in London, every stop reminded us why this community matters.
They Came, They Played, They Made History
From October 24 to 26, 2025, women from ten countries and more than fifteen cities came together for the first edition of the WPF Ladies Weekend, the first women’s poker event ever held simultaneously in multiple locations around the world.
Across three days, the event united over 1,500 women and recorded more than 2,200 total entries, turning poker rooms worldwide into spaces of connection, confidence, and celebration.
From São Paulo to Taiwan, from the USA to the Philippines, players shared the same purpose: to strengthen the presence and visibility of women in poker.
Each stop carried its own culture and energy, but everywhere the same spirit could be felt: women taking their place in the game and shaping its future together.
The WPF Ladies Weekend 2025 proved that when women unite, the game moves forward.
