However, since 2000, the World Table Tennis Championship has been split into two separate competitions.
Team events are now held in even numbered years, whilst individual events (singles and doubles) are held in odd numbered years.
The 2019 World Table Tennis Championship is being held in Budapest, Hungary from Sunday 21 to 28 April 2019 at the Hungexpo.
