Scotland set for 2026 Atlantic International Challenge in Belfast

Scotland’s bowlers are set to begin their 2026 Atlantic International Challenge campaign this weekend, with five days of international action taking place at Belmont Bowling Club in Belfast.

The event runs from Sunday 6 until Thursday 10 September and will see Scotland compete against Canada, Ireland and the USA across the men’s, women’s and para disciplines.

An 18-strong Scotland squad of players and directors will compete across singles, pairs, triples and fours. The team features a blend of experienced internationals, Commonwealth Games representatives, national champions and emerging talent.

Scotland head to Belfast looking to retain the overall team title, while also targeting success in the separate men’s, women’s and para competitions.

The full Scotland squad was announced last month.
