World Senior Pairs Championship

The World Senior Pairs Championship is one of the competitions held as part of the quadrennial World Bridge Championships (formerly World Pairs Olympiad), inaugurated at the 8th rendition of the meet in 1990.

Prior to 2005 both members of each pair had to be at least 55 years of age. In 2005, the World Bridge Federation (WBF) decided that the minimum age for a player to be recognized as Senior would be increasing one year per year, until it reached 60 years in 2010. The decision ensured that 55-year-olds who participated in a senior event in 2003 would never become ex-Seniors.
