How long is an official table tennis table?

An official table tennis table is 2.74 metres long.

The playing surface is a rectangle 2.74 metres long and 1.525 metres wide, positioned 76 centimetres above the floor. A vertical net divides the surface into two equal courts. These measurements are specified in the ITTF regulations for international play.

The dimensions are sometimes confused with those of other racket sports. A badminton court and a tennis court have very different lengths, while a table tennis table is designed for rapid play in a relatively compact area.

The table’s surface must provide a consistent bounce. The ITTF rules state that a ball dropped from 30 centimetres should rebound approximately 23 centimetres from the playing surface. Tables used casually may differ, but approved competition tables follow the standard measurements.
