The Wildwater Canoeing World Championships are an international event in canoeing organized by the International Canoe Federation. The World Championships have taken place every two years from 1959 to 1995 and then from 1996 to 2001, from 2011 the event is annual.

Editions In the odd edition 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019 the championships included only the sprint events. The classic race differs from the sprint race by the length of the course, therefore by the duration, which can go from 6 to 25 minutes for the classic race and up to a maximum of 2 minutes for the sprint race.

Starting from the 2017 edition of Pau, the sprint championships took place together with the Canoe Slalom World Championships and given the remarkable success this was repeated for the second time at La Seu d'Urgell in 2019. # Year Venue NationNotes11959 Treignac 21961 Hainsberg 31963 Spittal 41965 Spittal 51967 Špindlerův Mlýn 61969 Bourg-Saint-Maurice 71971 Merano 81973 Muotathal 91975 Skopje 101977 Spittal 111979 Desbiens 121981 Bala 131983 Merano 141985 Garmisch-Partenkirchen 151987 Bourg-Saint-Maurice 161989 Savage River 171991 Bovec 181993 Mezzana 191995 Bala 201996 Landeck The championships are moved in even years.211998 Garmisch-Partenkirchen 222000 Treignac 232002 Valsesia 242004 Garmisch-Partenkirchen 252006 Karlovy Vary 262008 Valsesia 272010 Sort 282011 Augsburg Only sprint events and the competition becomes annual.292012 Mâcot-la-Plagne 302013 Solkan Only sprint events.312014 Valtellina 322015 Wien Only sprint events.332016 Banja Luka 342017 Pau Only sprint events and together with the 2017 Canoe Slalom World Championships.352018 Muotathal 362019 La Seu d'Urgell Only sprint events and together with the 2019 Canoe Slalom World Championships372021 Bratislava Only sprint events and together with the 2021 Canoe Slalom World Championships382022 Treignac 392023 Augsburg Augsburg Eiskanal, Only sprint events402024 Sabero Esla river412025 České Budějovice České Vrbné Slalom Course, Only sprint events422026 Banja Luka Vrbas river
