The event has been long-awaited by the sport because the 2020 World Outdoor Bowls Championship was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[2] resulting in a seven-year wait since the last championships in 2016. Consequently, the Championships will now be held every two years.[3]

There will be five venues; the Broadbeach Bowls Club, Musgrave Hill Bowls Club, Club Helensvale, Paradise Point Club and Mudgeraba Club.

There will be eight events that will determine the 2023 world champions, the men's singles, doubles, triples and fours and the women's singles, doubles, triples and fours and in addition there are two overall team winners who receive the Leonard and Taylor trophies respectively.[4]

Participating teams

There are due to be 47 nations/associations competing at 2023 Championships, although only eight countries will be represented in all of the events.[5][4]
