World Badminton Grand Prix 1985

The 1985 World Badminton Grand Prix was the third edition of the World Badminton Grand Prix. The tournament series consisted of 17 international championships. As in 1983, the world championship was counted as part of the Grand Prix series. The Victor Cup, scheduled for October 1985 as the 18th tournament, was canceled. At the end of the series, a final was held, whereby in contrast to the series, only the two individual disciplines (12 men, 8 women) were played.
