The World Puzzle Championship is an annual international puzzle competition run by the World Puzzle Federation. The first one was held in New York in 1992. All the puzzles in the competition are designed to be language- and culture-neutral.
National teams are determined by local affiliates of the World Puzzle Federation. Of the 15 championships held between 1992 and 2006, 9 have been won by the U.S. team (1992, 1995, 1996, 1998-2001, 2004, 2006), 3 by the Czech Republic (1993, 1994, 1997), 1 by Japan (2002), and 2 by Germany (2003, 2005). The 2007 championship will be held in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.
