The Badminton Asia Championships (formerly Asian Badminton Championships until 2006) is a tournament organized by governing body Badminton Asia to crown the best badminton players in Asia.
The tournament started in 1962 and is held annually since 1991. The event had rotated between team and individual competitions before the team event became null since 1994. [1]
At the 2003 event however, there is a controversy when China decided to pull out from the tournament at the last minute. Head coach Li Yongbo said that the tournament did not award any ranking points for the 2004 Summer Olympics event and wanted to give his players more time to rest. [2] Some of the top players were also willing to pull out from the tournament since the competitiveness of the event was low.
The table below gives an overview of all host cities and countries of the Asia Championships. The most recent games were held in Ningbo in 2024. The number in parentheses following the city/country denotes how many times that city/country has hosted the championships. The number of events at each has ranged from one to six, and is given in the right-most column.
