The World Wushu Championships (WWC) is an international sports championship hosted by the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) for the sports of wushu taolu and sanda (sanshou).^[1] It has been held biennially since 1991 and is the pinnacle event of the IWUF. The World Wushu Championships also coincides with the IWUF Congress as well as with various committee meetings.^[1] This competition additionally serves as the qualification event for the Taolu World Cup and the Sanda World Cup.

Starting in 1985, the Chinese Wushu Association began to host the International Invitational Wushu Championships as a ways of standardizing the sport of wushu on a global scale.^[2] After the formation of the IWUF at the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing,^[3] the 1991 World Wushu Championships were quickly organized to be held in the same city. With the desire of reaching a wider global audience and to achieve recognition by the International Olympic Committee, the 3rd and 4th world championships were organized in the United States and Italy, the first major international wushu competitions outside of Asia.^[4] At the 6th WWC in 2001, the competition administered doping tests for the first time.^[5] In 2007, the 9th WWC served as the qualification of the 2008 Beijing Wushu Tournament.^[6] The same competition along with the 12th and 15th WWCs served as qualification for Wushu at the World Games.The 16th WWC was rescheduled from 2021 to 2023 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[7]

The sum total of gold, silver and bronze medals are not equal for the following reasons:

• Sanda events changed from awarding one bronze medal to two bronze medals per event in 1993.
• Occasional none-awarding or sharing of prizes.
• The 1995 rendition had several winners per each prize in taolu events while sanda events only awarded a gold medal to the winner of each event.
• Stripped medals are taken into account in the table above.
