The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) started in 1926 and the Laws of Table Tennis included all measurements in imperial units only (feet and inches).

In 1937, the metric (metres, centimetres & millimetres) equivalent were added alongside the imperial measurements.

In 1947, the metric measurements were made the primary units of measurement with imperial measurements secondary.

In 1975 the imperial measurements were omitted from the Laws completely and all measurements were stated in metric units only.

So table tennis tables are defined in the Laws of Table Tennis using metric measurements only.

An official table tennis table is 2.74m long, 1.525m wide and 76cm high, and the net is 1.83m long and 15.25cm high
