World Team Table Tennis Championships has been held since 1926, most of the time together with the World Table Tennis Championships. Three times has it been an own competition, in 2000, 2004, 2006 and it will be in 2008. In the earlier days of the tournament, Hungary's men's team was a dominant force winning the championships 12 times. From the 1960's onwards, China emerge as the new dominant power in this tournament and continues to dominate the sport until this day. China's men's team holds a record 16 world team championship titles.

In the 1950's, Japan's women team was a force to reckon with winning a total of 8 titles. The Chinese women started their strong grip on the world team championships from the 1970's onwards. They have only lost once since 1975. China holds a whopping 17 women's team titles.
