Sun, strikes, and senior spirit — one of Europe’s most anticipated senior tournaments is just around the corner! The Italy Senior Open 2025, an International Seniors Bowling Tour event, will take place from June 28 to July 6 at Mondial Bowling in Rome, welcoming senior bowlers from across the continent for a week of high-level competition, Italian hospitality, and unforgettable moments.
Held in one of Europe’s most charming cities, the tournament offers a rare mix: competitive bowling in a relaxed, welcoming environment, all set against the historical backdrop of the Eternal City.
No wonder this event keeps growing in popularity — with more than 130 bowlers already signed up, this year’s edition is shaping up to be bigger than ever.
A Tournament That Has It All
The Italy Senior Open has earned its status as a highlight on the senior bowling calendar for good reason. Hosted at Mondial Bowling, the venue offers a professional-level setup:
- 18 QubicaAMF lanes
- Kegel Specto tracking
- Lanetalk integration
- QubicaAMF live scoring
- Live YouTube streaming on all 18 lanes for fans following at home
To ensure top playing conditions, two dedicated lane machines will be in use throughout the week.
And while the competition is serious, the atmosphere remains relaxed and friendly — helped in no small part by the authentic Italian meals served during the tournament week, creating a warm and social environment that keeps players coming back.

This year’s prize fund totals €16,000, with payouts extending deep into the field:
- €1,850 to the Men’s Singles Champion
