The Bianchi Cup is a major action pistol tournament in the United States, held in May at the Green Valley Rifle & Pistol Club in Missouri. The Bianchi Cup is the only major shooting tournament that has retained its original course of fire since its inception.[1]
Due to the diversity of stages,[2] the tournament is widely considered one of the most difficult championships in all of the shooting sports.[3][4]
In 2023, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) took over the match and rebranded it the CMP Bianchi Cup.[5] Title sponsor of the CMP Bianchi Cup is the MidwayUSA.
