The All England Open Badminton Championships, or simply All England, is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious badminton tournaments. It developed after the success of world's first badminton tournament held in Guildford in 1898. The tournament was successfully organised in April 4, 1899, however only three categories (Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles) were staged. The first three tournaments were named "The Open English Championships". It was considered the unofficial World Badminton Championships until 1977 when the IBF launched its tournament. Since 1984 the tournament has been exclusively sponsored by Yonex. The tournaments were halted twice: during World War I from 1915 to 1919 and World War II from 1940 to 1946.
Historical venues for the ChampionshipsThe tournament has outgrown eight venues, and is now played at the National Indoor Arena, Birmingham.[1]
