Mrs Uber, whose full name is Betty Uber, was a famous British female badminton player in 1930s. From 1930 to 1949, she won the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles championships in the British badminton championship for many times. After retirement, Mrs Uber still has a soft spot for badminton. In order to promote the development of badminton, she officially donated a commemorative cup made by Maipiy and Weber to the International Badminton Federation at the Council meeting of 1956, and personally presided over the lottery ceremony of the first Uber Cup competition.
The height of the cup is 18cm, and the cup body is spherical. At the top of the sphere is a model similar to badminton. At the top of the model stood a female athlete with a racket. The words "International Women's Badminton Champion Challenge Cup presented by Mrs. Uber 1956 International Badminton Federation" are engraved around the base.
Uber Cup is also called "World Women's Badminton Team Championship". The Uber Cup is the same as the Thomas Cup. Before 1982, it was held every three years, and the competition adopted the best-of-seven system. Starting from 1984, it is held every two years, adopting the best of five games system.
