Abstract: Motivated by the construction of holographic duals to five-dimensional superconformal quantum field theories, we obtain global solutions to Type IIB supergravity invariant under the superalgebra F(4) on a space-time of the form AdS6imesS2 warped over a two-dimensional Riemann surface Sigma. In earlier work, the general local solutions were expressed in terms of two locally holomorphic functions mathcalApm on Sigma and global solutions were sketched when Sigma is a disk. In the present paper, the physical regularity conditions on the supergravity fields required for global solutions are implemented on mathcalApm for arbitrary Sigma. Global solutions exist only when Sigma has a non-empty boundary partialSigma. The differentials partialmathcalApm are allowed to have poles only on partialSigma and each pole corresponds to a semi-infinite (p,q) five-brane. The construction for the disk is carried out in detail and the conditions for the existence of global solutions are articulated for surfaces with more than one boundary and higher genus.
