New Zealand has four teams taking part in the 44th World Bridge Championships which start on Sunday in Wuhan, China.
We will have representative teams in the Open (Bermuda Bowl),Women (Venice Cup), Seniors (D'Orsi Senior Bowl) and Mixed (Mixed National Teams) categories.

24 countries in each category playing 23 matches over 7 days to qualify the top 8 for the knock-out stages. We go into these events with good reason for optimism, especially after such excellent performances from our Open team in recent World events. The same three pairs, Michael Ware- GeO Tislevoll, Michael Whibley- Matthew Brown and Michael Cornell - Ashley Bach are back again this time. Their  npc  is Martin Reid.
