United States Bridge Championships

The USBF holds tournaments to select United States International Teams. The USBC, which selects teams for Open World Championships, is held every year; the USBC held each even numbered year that is not divisible by four selects one team for the next year's Bermuda Bowl. The Women's USBC, which selects teams for Women's World Championships, is held in three out of four years; there is no Women's USBC in even numbered years that are not divisible by four. The Senior USBC, which selects teams for Senior World Championships, is held in three out of four years; there is no Senior USBC in even numbered years that are not divisible by four. The Junior USBC, which selects teams for the World Junior Championships, is held in each odd numbered year, to select the teams for the following even numbered year.

 2020

Each of the 2020 USBCs will select 1 team for the 2020 World Bridge Games, in which each WBF NBO gets 1 team. Although we still do not know the dates for the 2020 WBG, the latest announcement is that they will be held in Salsomaggiore Terme, Italy early in 2021. All of the 2020 USBCs will be held at the Hyatt Regency, Schaumburg, the new regular home for USBCs. For information about the 2020 USBCs, click on the event name. We do not yet have dates for the 2020 USBCs, but are working on them.

2021 - TENTATIVE SCHEDULE

We do not yet know when or where the 2021 World Championship will be held. The 2021 dates for the Open, Women's & Senior USBCs are based on the assumption that it will be in September. If WBF decides on an earlier date for the World Championship, we will probably have to move all of the USBCs earlier. The 2021 USBCs will be held at the Hyatt Regency, Schaumburg, the new regular home for the Open, Women's, Senior & Mixed USBCs.

2021 Open USBC

The Open USBC will start on either Tuesday, May 4th or Thursday, May 6th and end on Monday, May 17th or Wednesday May 19th. The 2021 USBC will select both USBF teams for the 2021 Bermuda Bowl.
