The '''UMB World Three-cushion Championship''' is a professional [[carom billiards]] tournament in the discipline of [[three-cushion billiards]], organized mostly annually by the [[Union Mondiale de Billard]] (UMB). Until 1953 it was organized by the UIFAB (Union Internationale des Federations d'Amateurs de Billard). During a dispute between the UMB and [[Billiards World Cup Association]] (BWA), the UMB decided not to organize the championship between 1988 and 1993. Instead the overall winner of the World Cup was announced as also the world champion.<ref name=Haase>{{cite book|first1=Dieter|last1=Haase|first2=Heinrich|last2=Weingartner|title=Enzyklopädie des Billardsports|year=2009|publisher=Verlag Heinrich Weingartner|location=Wien|isbn=978-3-200-01489-3}}</ref>{{rp|p785}}

From 1928 to 1958 and from 1985 to 1987, matches were played as a single frame with a run to 50 points (or 60 points between 1960 and 1984). From 1994 to 2011 the tournament was played in a set-system, the winner achieving the best of five. Since 2012 it has been changed back to a single frame with the run to 40 points.
