Purpose: This study was to understand the introduction and development of badminton in Taiwan. Method: With the method of document analysis, this study attempted to explore how badminton in Taiwan was introduced and developed, and how Taiwanese badminton players performed in international contests. Conclusion: (1) It was discovered that badminton was first introduced in 1945 by Mainland Chinese and the first professional badminton court was built in 1940. (2) The Chinese Taipei Badminton Association has been managed within ten presidents and created a concrete foundation. (3) At the beginning of development, badminton was not popular among interscholastic sport or physical education after Taiwan Restoration. Since 1968, the base of development has been established due to the dedication to promoting badminton by interscholastic coaches. (4) From 1950's to 1970's, shuttles and badminton rackets made in Taiwan were produced enough to meet not just national demand and were also exported to other countries around the world. Meanwhile, many badminton teams or clubs were established and several badminton competitions or championships were created, such as Morning Cup and Taipei International Badminton Invitation. Many industries have been sponsoring badminton teams/clubs and competitions from 1970's. Furthermore, the Taiwan Senior Badminton Association was established in 1998, and their members play badminton at Taipei Yuan-Shan Park every day. (5) The performances of national teams in international levels were not as good as we expected, except the fact that national female teams performed well once in a while. Although women's individual results appeared to be better than males', the players of both sexes should have a great improvement. Finally, some suggestions were provided for promoting badminton in Taiwan.
