Council Announces Two New State Chapters Ahead of the 2026 Season

November 21, 2025 · By Council Staff

The National Council of Pineapple confirmed two additional state chapters have cleared full sanctioning requirements ahead of the 2026 season, following a certified trial event and the appointment of a trained local judge in each. The Council's board says expansion pace is deliberately conservative, prioritizing consistent judging standards over rapid growth.

The Council also confirmed the 2026 National Pineapple Championship date and reiterated that all five existing regional series — Southeast, West Coast, Midwest, Northeast, and Southwest & Mountain — plus the Aloha Invitational will return unchanged.
