Hi Lindelof,

The table dimensions are:

9ft long by 5ft wide and 2ft 6in high. Or in metric 2.74m by 1.525m and 76cm high.

You can find these in the table tennis rules brochure we have in our Free Downloads section.

Hitting the Ceiling

When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
