Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT) Releases 2025 Schedule

The Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT) is in its 18th season, making it one of the longest-running live poker tours. Two of its live stops, the UK Team Championship and the UKICOAP are already in the bag, but there is much more to come judging by the busy 2025 live event schedule APAT has released.

The popular recreational player-focused tour is currently at the Green Isle Hotel in Dublin for its APAT Irish Open Championship. It features a trio of €150 buy-in flights running at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. GMT on March 12, and 11:00 a.m. GMT on March 13. Day 2 shuffles up and deals at 6:30 p.m. GMT on March 13.

After Dublin, APAT stops come thick and fast. The tour heads to Asch in Germany on April 6 before returning there on May 16. The stops in Newcastle and Malta are sandwiched between those German legs.

This season’s European Championship Of Amateur Poker (ECOAP) takes place in Coventry, a new poker hotbed in the United Kingdom, from May 21. The 2025 edition of the ever-popular World Championship Of Amateur Poker (WCOAP) is scheduled for August 20-25 at the excellent Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham.

Other 2025 APAT highlights include a trip to the home of The Beatles (Liverpool), Glasgow, Leeds, London, and more stops in Germany and Malta.
