THE CANADIAN BRIDGE FEDERATION
LA FEDERATION CANADIENNE DE BRIDGE

The Canadian Bridge Federation (CBF) is a Canada-wide bridge organization recognized by the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) and the World Bridge Federation (WBF). Canadians purchase membership in the CBF along with ACBL dues. Or, Canadian bridge players may purchase a CBF membership separate from the ACBL.

The CBF organizes and runs three multi-level national events: the Canadian Open Pairs Championships (COPC); the Canadian National Team Championships (CNTC); and the Canadian Women's Team Championships (CWTC). These events begin at the 'grassroots' level and, through a variety of playdowns, eventually designate teams and pairs to represent Canada in international competition.

As well, the CBF runs the Helen Shields Rookie Master Trophy event, The Erin Berry Rookie-Master Pairs, the CBF Charity Fund, the Junior Development Fund, the Erin Berry Memorial Fund for Youth, and publishes a magazine (Bridge Canada) two times a year.
