The National Tournament (also known as the All-Japan Tournament, or Nationals) occurs in Tokyo and is won by Seigaku, who faces Rikkai in the final. It is the third official tournament of Prince of Tennis, following the Kantou Tournament. The Nationals matches are covered in 3 OVAs following the original anime.

Seigaku faces Higa, Hyoutei for the second time, Shitenhouji, and Rikkai for the second time.

History

Rikkai are the reigning champions going into the tournament, having won the tournament the two previous years. This is the first time Seigaku attends Nationals for any of the current team members.

The year before the story, Rikkai faces and defeats Shitenhouji in the semifinal. They then defeat Makinofuji, who had defeated Shishigaku.

Higa is the first team from Okinawa to qualify for Nationals in 26 years.
