Known as the Bermuda Bowl, the World team championships in contract bridge are named after the first edition which was held in Bermuda in 1950. The 40th rendition will be 15–29 October 2011 in Veldhoven, Netherlands.[1]

The event started out as a competition between USA, Europe and Britain. The first event was held in 1950 and won by USA. After this, the Bermuda Bowl became a yearly challenge match between the USA and the European Champions. Over time, the format has changed several times, including more and more teams.

Currently the Bermuda Bowl is held every two years with 22 teams participating: The host country, six from Europe (Zone 1), three from North America (Zone 2), two from South America (Zone 3), two from Asia & the Middle East (Zone 4), one from Central America & Caribbean (Zone 5), three from Pacific Asia (Zone 6), two from South Pacific (Zone 7), two from Africa (Zone 8). The Venice Cup and Senior Bowl are held at the same venue in a similar format. The World Transnational Open Teams Championship starts after the qualifying stages for the three major events have been concluded.
