The IIBC Championships were an annual indoor bowls international championships event, run by the governing body of the sport, the International Indoor Bowls Council (IIBC). The IIBC ran a men's singles, ladies singles and mixed pairs international championships event at senior level each year as the alternative championships to the more prominent World Indoor Bowls Championships organised by the World Bowls Tour and which features players recognised as the leading indoor players. The IIBC also organise the men's singles, ladies singles and mixed pairs international championships at under 25 level each year, which are held separately from the senior event. Although players from both hemispheres were able to compete, travelling restricted the entries and the majority of the leading indoor players from the Southern hemisphere did not take part. In 2019, the IIBC came to an agreement with the World Bowls organisation. The agreement was to merge their two international indoor championships, the IIBC Championships and the World Cup Singles. The new event would be called the World Bowls Indoor Championships.
