Quick Facts Location, Date(s) ...

The event was long-awaited by the sport because the 2020 World Outdoor Bowls Championship was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[3] resulting in a seven-year wait since the last championships in 2016. Consequently, the Championships will now be held every two years.[4]

There are five venues; the Broadbeach Bowls Club, Musgrave Hill Bowls Club, Club Helensvale, Paradise Point Club and Mudgeraba Club.

There are eight events that determine the 2023 world champions, the men's singles, doubles, triples and fours and the women's singles, doubles, triples and fours and in addition there are two overall team winners, who receive the Leonard and Taylor trophies respectively.[5] The finals were broadcast live on Fox Sports (Australia), Kayo Sports and Sky Sport (New Zealand).

Participating teams

There were 43 nations/associations competing at 2023 Championships, although only eight countries are represented in all of the events and Kenya pulled out before the tournament started.[6][5][7][8][9][10]
