The World Bridge Championship, held in Herning, Denmark from 20 to 31 August 2025, delivered two weeks of thrilling play, global camaraderie, and unforgettable competition. With four parallel categories—Open, Women, Mixed, and Senior—each fielded 24 elite national teams battling for world titles, the event represented the pinnacle of international bridge.
But this year’s edition will be remembered for more than world champions. For the first time in the history of the World Bridge Championship, the entire event—across all categories, all matches, all boards—was conducted using the LoveBridge bid+score system. This technological milestone redefined how the championship operated, offering new levels of accuracy, transparency, and competitive integrity.
Each of the four categories began with a demanding six-day round robin, where all 24 teams fought for one of the coveted eight knockout spots. The top eight teams in each category advanced to the quarterfinals, and the knockout stages brought high-stakes drama to the Danish championship halls.
Players not advancing to the knockout rounds were given the opportunity to join the Transnational World Teams Championship, now one of the most diverse and vibrant competitions in world bridge. This event welcomed mixed-authority teams, allowing players from different nations and categories to form new partnerships and continue their championship run. Once again, every board was played on LoveBridge, making scheduling, seating, and scoring effortless even across a shifting field of teams.
Alongside the transnational event, the World Championship hosted a Board-a-Match tournament as an additional consolation option. Its fast tempo and razor-thin scoring margins made BAM the perfect contrast to the long knockout sessions.
The 2025 World Bridge Championship set a new benchmark—not only in competition but in infrastructure. LoveBridge is proud to have supported this historic tournament and to help shape the future of the global game.
As bridge continues to evolve, we remain committed to one goal:
Making the world’s greatest mind sport more modern, more precise, and more enjoyable for everyone.
