About
The Oregon Sports Authority has served as the state’s sports economic development arm for nearly two decades, injecting more than $200 million into Oregon’s economy through sports tourism. Supported by more than 150 annual members, the non-profit organization works relentlessly to enhance the state’s economy and quality of life through sports.
The Oregon Sports Authority’s major achievements include landing the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (2009 and 2012), Davis Cup World Final, U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Women’s World Cup Soccer and the Dew Tour. Earlier this year the Oregon Sports Authority was recognized as “Sports Commission of the Year” by the National Association of Sports Commissions.
