Northern Championships
The Northern Championships (also North of England Championships ) were open international championships in badminton in England . They were one of the most important international badminton tournaments in the early days of the sport since the first decade of the 20th century. They were held for the first time at the end of 1906. In 1979 the tournament celebrated its 60th anniversary. With the spread of sport across all continents, the title fights lost their international importance in the 1980s.
