11th Edition — International Acrobatic Gymnastics Competition
Turin Acro Cup is an international acrobatic gymnastics competition that has been held annually in Turin, Italy, since its first edition in 2013. Now in its 11th edition — following the milestone 10th edition in 2024 — the event has established itself as one of the leading acrobatic gymnastics competitions in Europe, attracting delegations from across the continent and beyond.
The Turin Acro Cup brings together acrobatic gymnastics athletes from numerous countries for three days of high-level competition. The event encompasses all competitive categories, from beginners to senior-level athletes, providing a comprehensive competitive platform that serves both emerging talent and internationally ranked gymnasts.
The 10th edition, held in 2024, welcomed 375 athletes and 135 delegation staff — totalling over 510 participants — representing 25 international clubs from more than 8 countries, including the United Kingdom, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Estonia, Azerbaijan, Italy and Ireland.
Since its inception, the event has experienced consistent growth in terms of both participation and international recognition. Over the course of its history, the Turin Acro Cup has become a reference point for the acrobatic gymnastics community in Europe, known for its high organisational standards, competitive rigour and welcoming atmosphere for delegations from all participating nations.
The competition follows a qualification-and-finals format. Athletes perform two qualifying rounds across the first two days of the event. Based on cumulative qualification scores, the top-ranked athletes in each category advance to the finals, held on the third and final day. This format ensures rigorous sporting assessment and provides athletes with multiple opportunities to demonstrate their technical proficiency and artistic expression.
