World Backgammon Championship

Prior to 1979, there was no single world championship competition in backgammon. A number of tournaments were held in Las Vegas and the Bahamas. Since 1979, the World Backgammon Championship in Monte Carlo has been widely acknowledged as the top international tournament. The tournament in Monte Carlo draws thousands of players and spectators, and is played over the course of a week.
