The British Isles Bowls Championships is a tournament held between the champions of their respective nations, from England, Scotland, Wales, a combined Ireland, and more recently Guernsey and Jersey. It was first held in 1960 although the triples event did not start until 1977.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
The women's events started in June 1972, with the triples starting in 1982.[ 1] The first women's singles winner was Lilian Nicholas of Wales.[ 4] The first men's singles winner was Kenneth Coulson of England and the legendary David Bryant MBE holds the record for the most singles titles with four.[ 5]
The tournament is held the year after each of the National champions have been crowned.[ 1] The 2020 edition was initially cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic but because there were no National Championships held during 2020 (also due to the pandemic) the 2020 edition was rescheduled for 2021.[ 6]
