Camrose trophy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Camrose Trophy is award presented for the Bridge Home International Series which is competed for annually among the bridge associations of England (EBU), Northern Ireland (NIBU), Republic Of Ireland (CBAI), Scotland (SBU) and Wales (WBU) under the auspices of the British Bridge League.

The Bridge Home Internationals was launched in 1937. Lord Camrose, at that time proprietor of the Daily Telegraph, donated the trophy in 1936. The original trophy has been lost, but a replacement is competed for annually.

The 1939 series was not completed due to war. The Camrose re-started in 1946. This makes the Camrose the most-played international bridge series in the world. The Republic Of Ireland (then called the Irish Free State) dropped out in 1951 but rejoined the competition in 1998. In 2008 a sixth team was added, the holders being given the right to defend their title along with another team representing their home bridge union.
