All England Badminton Championship

The All England Open Badminton Championships, or simply All England, is one of the worlds oldest and most prestigious badminton tournaments. Played annually, it developed after the success of world's first badminton tournament held in Guildford in 1898. The tournament was successfully organized in April 4, 1899, however only three categories (Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles) were originally staged.

Both Men's and Women's Singles were added the following year. The first three tournaments were named "The Open English Championships". It was eventually considered (especially after the first Thomas Cup and Uber Cup series in 1949) the unofficial World Badminton Championships until 1977 when the International Badminton Federation (IBF) launched its official championships. 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.

Most successful badminton player in the All England Open Badminton Championships is George Alan Thomas to win 21 times.
