World Team Olympiad

World Team Olympiad

The World Team Olympiad is a bridge tournament organized by the World Bridge Federation, held every four years starting in 1960. Traditionally the World Team Olympiad consisted of two events: the Open Teams event and the Women's Teams event. Since 2000, the Senior Teams are included as a third event. Each national contract bridge organisation is allowed to enter only one team for each event.
