The British Isles Bowls Championships is a tournament held between the champions of their respective nations, from England, Scotland, Wales, a combined Ireland, and more recently Guernsey and Jersey. It was first held in 1960 although the triples event did not start until 1977.[1][2][3]

The women's events started in June 1972, with the triples starting in 1982.[1] The first women's singles winner was Lilian Nicholas of Wales.[4] The first men's singles winner was Kenneth Coulson of England and the legendary David Bryant MBE holds the record for the most singles titles with four.[5]

The tournament is held the year after each of the National champions have been crowned.[1] The 2020 edition was initially cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic but because there were no National Championships held during 2020 (also due to the pandemic) the 2020 edition was rescheduled for 2021.[6]
