World Mixed Teams Championship

The World Bridge Teams Olympiad, today the World Bridge Games, inaugurated in Turin, Italy in 1960 was the first competition to be set up by the WBF itself, the Bermuda Bowl already being well established when the WBF was founded in 1958. Harold S. Vanderbilt, the inventor of modern bridge scoring, endowed the new event with a handsome cup, the Vanderbilt Trophy.

The World Mixed Teams Championship was introduced for the first time in Wroclaw, during the 15th edition of the World Bridge Games.
