The World Bridge Championships consists of several sets of championships organized under the auspices of the World Bridge Federation. ==World Bridge Series Championships== ''World Bridge Series Championships'' is the new 2010 name for a quadrennial meet organized by the World Bridge Federation in non-leap even years. Most of its world championship events are open in the sense that entries do not represent geographic zones or nations. The meet was inaugurated in 1962 as the ''World Pair Olympiad'' comprising the World Open Pairs Championship and World Women Pairs Championship, as well as the World Mixed Teams Championship. For the second rendition in 1966 the mixed event was for pairs, the World Mixed Pairs Championship, as it would be thereafter except in 1974. The World Knockout Teams for the Rosenblum Cup was inaugurated in 1978 and soon became the most prestigious event of the meet. A parallel knockout teams for women was added in 1994, for the McConnell Cup. Seniors competition debuted in 1990 with the World Senior Pairs Championship and the World Senior Teams Championship followed in 1994. The "World Bridge Series" or "World Series" for short comprises championship tournaments for both pairs and teams in open, women's, seniors, and mixed categories. Other events are irregular. All events in the World Bridge Series are open without regard to nationality. Pairs or teams may be transnational and there are no limits on the numbers who enter. The next rendition will be 10–25 October 2014 in Sanya, Hainan, hosted by the Chinese Contract Bridge Association.〔("2014 World Bridge Series Championships to be held in Sanya in October" ).
