The Pakistan Table Tennis Federation was formed in 1951 in Lahore. With the formation of the Federation more and more provincial associations took birth. This helped in popularizing the game in various regions of the country. The Karachi, Lahore and the Peshawar Table Tennis Associations are amongst the oldest.
The National Championships have been held in since 1954. The first nationals were held in Lahore at the Burt Institute. Thereafter, these have been held in Karachi, Rawalpindi, Bahawalpur, Dacca and Quetta also. Some of the divisional associations have conducted nationals more than once. In the nationals the men's team event and the ladies team event were won by Karachi. The men's single event could not be completed on account of an injunction issued by a local court against the federation.
