The World IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament held annually by the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation. It is widely considered the most important and prestigious jiu-jitsu tournament of the year.

The last edition of the championship took place at California State University in 2023. In 2024 the tournament will be held at the Walter pyramid in Long Beach California.

History

The first World Championship was held on 3 and 4 February 1996 at the Tijuca Tênis Clube in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2007 the tournament moved to California State University in Long Beach, US where it has been held ever since.[2] The Championship is commonly known as "the Worlds" or "Mundials". Many considered the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship as the toughest and the most prestigious Gi tournament in the world.[3][4] Its counterpart in No-Gi is the World IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship.
