About
The next World Bowls Championships will take place in July 2027 at Leamington Spa, Birmingham, England.
World Championships are, in principle, open to every Member National Authority (MNA) of World Bowls. However, because of venue and scheduling constraints, each discipline is limited to 24 teams or participants in England.
To determine the field for 2027, World Bowls established the following process:
Most other World Bowls regions hold annual open qualifying events, which World Bowls uses to determine their regional qualifiers. Historically, the Americas region has not held such an event. As a result, a dedicated Americas Qualifying Tournament (AQT) was held to determine which country earns the single available Americas qualification place in each discipline that is not already filled through automatic qualification.

To determine the field for 2027, World Bowls established the following process:
- The top 12 finishers in each discipline at the 2023 World Championships automatically qualify for the 2027 World Championships.
- The remaining 12 places in each discipline are allocated by region.
