The World Bridge Federation is proud to announce an exciting new global initiative:
The e-Bridge Cup, created in collaboration with
BBO and
Funbridge — two of the world’s leading online bridge platforms.
This innovative event is designed to reach bridge lovers everywhere, from passionate club players to those who enjoy a casual game at home. For the first time, players of all levels will have the chance to compete globally in an
online format, playing
individually with and against robots — a unique and modern experience.
Key Dates
The
qualification phase will run from
1st to 28th September 2025.
Players who advance will compete in a
semi-final and final with
generous cash prizes and
WBF Master Points awarded to top performers.
But that’s not all!
Players who don’t make it to the semi-final can continue their journey in the
e-Cup2 — also offering excellent cash prizes. This structure ensures that
everyone has a reason to play, especially newer and younger players who are developing their skills and confidence.

A Vision for the Future
The
e-Bridge Cup isn’t just a competition — it’s a bold step into the future of bridge. With the format of
Human vs Artificial Intelligence, it offers elite players a new kind of training experience. It also aligns perfectly with the potential inclusion of bridge in the
Olympic Esports Games to be held by the IOC in 2027.
