The World of Bridge

  • The world of bridge is, for the most part, governed by the World Bridge Federation (WBF). The WBF consists of eight Zonal Organizations. Each Zonal Organization administers bridge in its own geographical area, coordinating the national federations of its member countries.
  • When Great Bridge Links first launched in 1995 there was only one National Bridge Organization website online and that was the Canadian Bridge Federation. In the 20 years hence of course, hundreds and hundreds of bridge org websites have come online. To help you find what you are looking for, we’ll start with the Zones and work from there. The links below will take you to a page on the WBF website that lists organizations and countries in each zone.

Europe | European Bridge League

North America |  American Contract Bridge League | Mexico, USA, Canada

South America | Confederacion Sudamericana de Bridge

Asia | Bridge Federation of Asia & the Middle East

Central America | Central American & Caribbean Bridge Federation

Pacific Asia | Asia Pacific Bridge Federation

South Pacific | South Pacific Bridge Federation

Africa | African Bridge Federation

Also in this section, we will post new links and link updates. If you’d like to send your bridge organization update please use the Add Me form in the footer at the bottom of this page.
