We have information that a form of Bridge was introduced and played in Cyprus in the early 20 th Century. After World War II, Bridge became popular, and this resulted in 1960, in the establishment of the Cyprus Bridge Association (CBA).

The aims of CBA are the regulation and promotion of the game of Bridge in Cyprus. Also the organisation of the representation of Cyprus Bridge in the international arena.

CBA aims to introduce Bridge in schools and colleges as it believes that Bridge, as an intellectual game, has a valuable educational merit. CBA, in its effort to develop its future international players, is prepared to subsidise young Cypriots who wish to learn the game,

The Cyprus Sports Association, of which CBA is a member, has given its support in many ways. This support enables CBA to organise International Bridge Festivals and represent Cyprus in International Tournaments.

Member clubs have been established in most major towns of Cyprus and recently in the beautiful village of Lefkara, where Bridge is becoming very popular. Details and addresses of member Clubs can be found under the heading of Clubs.

The Present Committee of the CBA is:

President  Mr. Costas Ioannou
Secretary  Mrs. Rena Lordos
Treasurer  Mr. George Georgiades
 
Members   Mrs. Aleka Astreou
                 Mrs. Rena Livera

                 Mrs. Sylvia Malaxos
