The International Racquetball Tour (IRT) is the leading professional racquetball organization for men's competition. It was founded in 1991 and is the successor to previous iterations of the tour by different names. Professional Men's racquetball events have been offered since 1973. Events are played mostly in the USA.
In 2025, Dave Negrete became IRT President for a second time, succeeding Mike Grisz, who had been IRT chief executive officer since January 2019.
Grisz succeeded John Scott, who became chief executive officer in June 2017, when the IRT was taken over by E.J. Promotions Inc. Previously, Jason Mannino, a former pro player, served as IRT President., who succeeded Dave Negrete in 2009. Negrete was Commissioner from 2001 to 2009. Initially, Mannino continued to play on the tour during the 2009–2010 season as well as serve as the IRT's leader, but retired at the end of that season to concentrate on being IRT President.
Rules of play
IRT matches primarily use the rules as set out by USA Racquetball. IRT matches were best of five games to 11 points each beginning in 1981 with each game won by a minimum of two points (e.g., a 12–10 score can end a game, but 11-10 cannot). But in the middle of the 2017–18 season, the IRT changed its match scoring from best of 5 games to 11 points to a best of 3 games with the first 2 games to 15 points and the tie-breaker to 11. Moreover, each of the three games was win by 1 point rather than 2 points, as it was under the previous rule with games to 11 points. The rule came into effect at the start of the 2018 calendar year.
Beginning in the 2010–2011 season, the IRT has changed its service rule so that players get two opportunities to put the ball into play (two serve rule), as in tennis where players are allowed two faults before losing a point. Since the 1990s, the IRT had been using a one serve rule, so a fault serve resulted in an immediate loss of serve.
