Badminton England is the national governing body for the sport of badminton in England. It aims to govern, encourage and develop the sport throughout England.
Originally established in 1893 as the Badminton Association of England in Portsmouth,[citation needed] the association is now based in Milton Keynes and has departments for Elite Play, Events, Membership, Development and Coaching. It closely liaises with the 41 Counties of England to provide support to the club and league structures.
The body was a founding member of the International Badminton Federation, since renamed to Badminton World Federation (BWF), which is the international governing body for the sport.
