All England Open Badminton Championships

Yonex All-England official logo

The All England Open Badminton Championships is the world's oldest badminton tournament which is annually organized in England. With the introduction of the BWF's latest grading system, it was given Superseries status in 2007. And, in 2011, it was upgraded to the Superseries Premier status.[1]

The world's first open tournament was held at England's Guildford town in 1898. And success of that tournament paved the way for the All England's inaugural edition, which was held at London's Horticultural Halls in 1899. Although the inaugural edition consisted of just doubles format, the singles were introduced from the second edition onward.[2] It was eventually considered (especially after the first Thomas Cup series in 1949) the unofficial world championship of the sport until 1977 when the International Badminton Federation launched its official championships.

There were two instances when it was halted - from 1915 to 1919 and from 1940 to 1946.[3]
