The prestigious Thomas Cup is the major men's international team competition in world badminton which takes place every two years. The rivalries in Thomas Cup competitions are traditionally intense encounters that pit national pride against each another. The Uber Cup is the counterpart women’s team competition. It takes place simultaneously with the Thomas Cup, thus making both events a enthralling double-header.

The pinnacle of badminton’s individual events culminate in the World Championship which take place every year (except years in which the Olympic Games occur) allowing winners the ultimate honour of “World Champion”.

The Sudirman Cup is a mixed team competition that is also hotly contested in the name of national pride. This unique tournament is the only one to combine the strengths of a country’s best men and women players in one competition.
