The ULTM was composed of 37 national or regional table tennis associations, working on the development of table tennis in Latin America.
In 2019, the ULTM and the Northern American Table Tennis Union (NATTU) founded Pan American Table Tennis Confederation.[1] The Confederation was recognised by the ITTF as the continental federation, replacing both the ULTM and the NATTU in 2021.
