WORLD MEN'S TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
1. INTRODUCTION
In January 1967 the first meeting of the International Squash Rackets Federation (ISRF) was held in London. This followed a gathering a year previously of representatives from Australia, Canada, Egypt, Great Britain, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and USA, following which a constitution was agreed. One aspect of this was the holding of international championships, the first of which was held later in that year. Then, and subsequently, all matches have been held on a three man team basis.

WORLD OPEN AND WORLD AMATEUR INDIVIDUAL
1. INTRODUCTION
The World Amateur Individual Championship was inaugurated by the ISRF at the same time as the Team event and until 1983 was played together every two years. However, as a number of players turned professional in the 1970s, a clamouring began for an Open title. Initially in February 1976 the event was incorporated into the British Open, but subsequently it developed as the Premier World Individual Championship. The illogicality of playing both the World Amateur Individual and World Open titles in the same year meant that agreement was reached between the ISRF and ISPA for them to be merged as the World Open on alternative years and played in conjunction with the team event.
