After making a list of Basque restaurants in the United States, I was curious to learn more about Basque institutions.

It got me wondering, where are the existing Basque pelota courts? I’ve heard of many that are no longer in use or have been torn down, but I wanted to find out where the remaining ones are.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a complete list online, so this is an attempt at making my own.

I’m still a little unclear about which ones can actually be played on (private vs. public), so if anyone has some insider information on this topic, please let me know in the comments. I’ll update this list as I gather more information.

But here’s a start.

This list was compiled in collaboration with Xabier Berrueta, President of the United States Federation of Pelota. I also used frontons.net as a reference.
