 For Immediate Release 

 Canada Cup International Women's Fastpitch Tournament (Women's Division) Cancelled for 2010 

 Surrey, BC - The 17th Annual Canada Cup International Women's Fastpitch Tournament (Women's Division) has been cancelled for 2010 due to a change in the International Softball Federation dates for the Xll Women's World Championships. 

 'It is with great regret and after much deliberation due to the changes made by the International Softball Federation schedule that I have decided not to proceed with the 2010 Canada Cup and have informed Softball Canada and the Canada Cup Host Committee of this decision,' stated Chairman, Glen Todd. 

 'We reviewed all of our options and in the end concluded that we had no choice but to cancel the Women's tournament. We are exploring the possibilities of staging the Canada Cup once again in 2011.' 

 The Canada Cup was to be held July 3 to 11 in Surrey, BC with many international teams then heading to the World Championships the following week. The 2010 ISF Xll Women's World Championships will now be held in Caracas, Venezuela June 23 to July 2. It has recently been announced by the International Softball Federation and Softball Canada that the ISF Xlll Women's World Championships will be held in July of 2012 in Whitehorse, Yukon. Dates are still to be determined. 

 Further information and updates will be posted on www.canadacup.com including information on the 2010 Futures and Showcase Divisions.
