The official women’s trophy at the World Table Tennis Championships is the Corbillon Cup.
It is awarded to the winners of the women’s team event. The trophy is named after Marcel Corbillon, a French official who played a major role in international table tennis administration. The name is sometimes confused with the Swaythling Cup, which is the corresponding trophy for the men’s team competition.
The Corbillon Cup is not the prize for the women’s singles event. World Championships include several disciplines, and each title has its own winners and historical context. Team matches use national sides, while singles and doubles titles are won by individual players or partnerships.
The first World Table Tennis Championships were held in London in 1926. Over the decades, the championships expanded and their formats evolved, but the named team trophies continued to connect modern tournaments with the sport’s early international history.
