The '''IWBF World Wheelchair Basketball Championship''' (World Championships from 1973 to 2002 (2006) known as Gold Cup) is an international [[wheelchair basketball]] competition contested by the men's and the women's national teams of the members of the [[International Wheelchair Basketball Federation]] ([[International Wheelchair Basketball Federation|IWBF]]), the sport's global governing body. 

The first unofficial Wheelchair Basketball World Championships for men was held in 1973,<ref>[http://www.iwbf.org/index.php/the-game/history History of the Game] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110430181103/http://www.iwbf.org/index.php/the-game/history |date=April 30, 2011 }}, [[International Wheelchair Basketball Federation]] (IWBF)</ref>  with [[Bruges]], [[Belgium]] being the first host city. The unofficial world championship for men was won by [[Great Britain]], with a team that included [[Philip Craven]],<ref>[http://www.olympic.org/sir-philip-craven,-mbe Sir Philip CRAVEN, MBE], Official website of the Olympic Movement</ref> who would later become the President of the [[International Paralympic Committee]] (IPC). Bruges, Belgium also hosted the first official World Championships, known as the '''Gold Cup''' tournament, in 1975. 

The men's world championships has been won 7 times by the [[United States]], twice each by [[Australia]] and [[Great Britain]] (one of which being the unofficial Championship in 1973), and once each by [[Israel]], [[France]] and [[Canada]]. Wheelchair basketball world championships for women have been held since 1990. In the first 6 women's world championships, [[Canada]] has won four world titles, and the [[United States]] two world titles.
