The World University Championships are sports competitions organized by FISU (the International Federation of University Sports) to complete the program of the Universiade (World University Games).

The World University Championships are held in even-numbered years, whereas the World University Games are held in the odd-numbered years. Competitions can be held any time between March and November, but typically fall from April to October. Dates and locations of each Championship are chosen about a year in advance of each competition. Unlike the World University Games, each sporting competition in the World University Championships is organized in a separate location anywhere in the world.

The numbers of participants and sports competitions in World University Championships are growing rapidly. For instance, in 2004 FISU organised 25 World University Championships that attracted 4,845 participants. In 2006, FISU staged 27 WUCs attracting 5,852 participants and in 2008, 29 Championships were organized, bringing together 6,652 participants. For 2010, 29 WUC’s are planned out of a total of 32 sports programs offered.

Beginning in 2012, BTI Events will officially coordinate the participation of U.S. athletes in the World University Championships, in partnership with the US-IUSF (U.S. International University Sports Federation).
