WELCOME to the area of the BADMINTON England website dedicated to the Yonex All England Open Badminton Championships 2010.
The Championships began in 1899 with Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles, with Men's & Women's Singles being introduced in 1900. Since then, the Championships have grown and become widely known as, "...the world's oldest and most prestigious tournament, and a world symbol for Open Championship badminton".
