Sumo World Championships


The Sumo World Championships is an amateur men's sumo competition organized by the International Sumo Federation. The competition started in 1992 and since the Women Sumo World Championships started in 2001 both competitions have been held together. The competitions are generally held every year, although the 2009 and 2011 events were cancelled due to the 2009 flu pandemic and political unrest over the Arab Spring.
