About USBF

The UNITED STATES BRIDGE FEDERATION was formed in 2001, for the primary purposes of selecting and supporting United States teams in International Competition as an NBO member of the World Bridge Federation and the North American Bridge Federation. USBF now focuses primarily on selecting teams for International competition, by holding the United States Bridge Championships for Mixed, Open, Women, Senior and Junior teams, and on providing training and support for United States teams in International competition. USBF was originally formed by ACBL and ABA. It now receives support for United States International Teams from the ACBL International Fund and Junior Fund. It is otherwise self-supporting, with support coming from membership dues, contributions and entry fees for the USBCs.
