Race 4 Eight Dallas 80th George Lee
Welcome to the 80th George Lee Handball Tournament
The North Texas Handball Club is proud to welcome players, fans, and supporters to the 80th George Lee Handball Tournament, taking place in January 2027 in Dallas, Texas.
For eight decades, the George Lee Tournament has been one of the premier traditions in handball, bringing together competitors from across the country to celebrate the sport, its history, and the friendships that make the handball community special. Reaching the tournament's 80th edition is a remarkable milestone, and we look forward to honoring that legacy while creating new memories on the courts.
This year's event is especially significant as it will also feature a Race 4 Eight Pro Stop—the first professional Race 4 Eight event ever hosted in Dallas. The addition of the pro tour will showcase some of the world's top handball talent and provide spectators with an exciting opportunity to experience elite-level competition up close.
Whether you're competing for a championship, cheering from the gallery, or visiting Dallas for the first time, we invite you to join us for a weekend of outstanding handball, fierce competition, and celebration of the sport we all love.
We look forward to seeing you in Dallas for this historic event.
