About
The Oregon Sports Authority has served as the state’s sports economic development arm for more 15 years, injecting millions of dollars into Oregon’s economy each year 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 2009 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Davis Cup World Final, U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Women’s World Cup Soccer and the Dew Tour. The organization is also the driving force behind efforts to bring additional professional sports franchises to Oregon, and recently launched the campaign to bring the Portland Beavers to Beaverton.
