DHC Cup Girls Bowling International

The DHC Cup Girls Bowling International is an annual ten-pin bowling event for professional and amateur female bowlers, held in Japan, and is sanctioned by the Japan Bowling Congress (JBC). Offering an award purse of JPY¥12.0 million (approx. US$128,000), it is currently the third-biggest tournament for females in the world in terms of money, just behind the U.S. Women's Open and the USBC Queens.

The DHC Cup Girls Bowling International made its debut in 2007. Bowlers from all over the world are invited to compete, although the majority of bowlers competing are from the JBC, the Japan Professional Bowling Association (JPBA), and DHC's own team of bowlers from the DHC Ladies Bowling Tour. Other competitors from outside Japan come from other professional and amateur organizations - including the United States-based Professional Bowlers Association (PBA). Several of the foreign competitors from outside Japan are hosted by DHC Corporation, by covering their airfare and accommodations.
