The All England Open Badminton Championships, or simply All England, is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious Badminton Tournaments.
Played Annually, it developed after the success of the world's first Badminton Tournament held in Guildford(County Town of Surrey,England) in 1898. The tournament was successfully organised on April 4, 1899, however only three categories (Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles) were originally staged. Both Men's and Women's Singles were added the following year. The first three tournaments were named "The Open English Championships".
The tournaments were halted twice -
1)during WW I from 1915 to 1919 and
2)during WW II from 1940 to 1946
Since 1984 the tournament has been exclusively sponsored by Yonex
