World University Championship (Badminton)

The World University Championships in Badminton are the worldwide title fights for students in this sport. Since 1990 they have been held every two years in the even years in the disciplines of women and men singles, women and men doubles and mixed. Since 2006 there has also been a team competition in the Sudirman Cup format (one women and one men singles, women and men doubles and mixed).

They are not to be confused with the Universiade held in the odd years , at which badminton is only played sporadically, as it is one of the optional disciplines that the organizer can select in addition to the 13 regular competitions.
