The Poland national badminton team (Polish: Reprezentacja Polski w badmintona) represents Poland in international badminton team competitions.[1] It is managed by the Polish Badminton Association in the capital city of Warsaw. Poland competed in the Sudirman Cup from 1989 to 2011. The men's team only competed the Thomas Cup once in 2010 and the women's team have never qualified for the Uber Cup.
The men's team were runners-up at the 2010 European Men's Team Badminton Championships, where Poland was the host nation. The mixed team reached two consecutive semifinals in the European Mixed Team Badminton Championships in 2008 and 2009.
The Poland team has had many players in the past that have reached top 10 in the BWF World Ranking, one of them being Robert Mateusiak and Nadieżda Zięba, who were the world number one mixed doubles pair in 2010.
Poland has also been successful in para-badminton. National player Bartłomiej Mróz is a four-time silver medalist at the BWF Para-Badminton World Championships and has a career-high ranking of 3 in the men's singles SU5 category.
