The PV College Challenge began in 2015 and has evolved into one of the premier tournaments designed to launch the softball season. It was the first-ever D-I softball event held outside the United States and has included programs from well-known Power 5 conferences as well as the deep pool of strong mid-major schools — Auburn, BYU, Long Beach, Nevada, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Washington are just some the programs who have played in Puerto Vallarta. The Mexican Olympic team also played in the tournament in 2020.

Games are played at Nancy Almaraz Stadium; many teams and their fans will book rooms at the newly refurbished and oceanside Sheraton Buganvilias Resort and Convention Center, which is walking distance to the stadium.

Puerto Vallarta remains a safe and easy-to-navigate destination and is excited to welcome back tourists. The area is full of other diversions and entertainment options for fans attending the PV College Challenge. Check back with the website www.pvcollegechallenge.com for more information.
