The Egypt national badminton team (Arabic: منتخب مصر لكرة الريشة) represents Egypt in international badminton team competitions.[1][2] The team is controlled by the Egyptian Badminton Federation, the governing body for badminton in Egypt.
The team was formed in 1991 after the formation of the Egyptian Badminton Federation.[3] In the team's early years, they frequently participated in Arab regional tournaments such as the Arab Games (then called the Pan Arab Games) and the Arab Badminton Championships.
Egypt first qualified for the Sudirman Cup in 2021 after the team won the 2021 African Mixed Team Championships. The team made their first appearance at the Uber Cup in 2020 after winning the African Women's Team Championships for the first time in 2020. The men's team have yet to qualify for the Thomas Cup.
