# IIBC Championships

This page is about the IIBC Championships. For the World Bowls Tour, see World Indoor Bowls Championships.
The IIBC Championships are an annual indoor bowls world championship event for the under–25 age group, run by the governing body of the sport, the International Indoor Bowls Council (IIBC).

## History

The under–25 age group events were established in 1998 and continue today. From 2000 until 2019 there were disciplines at senior level. In 2019, the IIBC came to an agreement with the World Bowls organisation. The agreement was to merge their two international indoor championships, the IIBC Championships and the World Cup Singles. The new event would be called the World Bowls Indoor Championships.
In 2004, the mixed pairs event was added to the under 25 championships for the first time. In 2005, Guernsey hosted the under 25 championships for the first time. In 2012, Amy Stanton became the first female to win the women's title three years running. In 2014, Chloe Watson became the first Irish and youngest ever winner of the women's title at the age of 17.
