World Championship Boys

The BDO World Championship for youth is held once in 1986, but then it disappears from the calendar until it returns in 2015. The preliminaries are played around the Winmau World Masters. The final is played in January of the following year on the stage of the 'big' World Championship.

From 2015, the tournament is played at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green. In 2020 the new BDO board moves the tournament to London. The Indigo at the O2 is the new venue.

The title is won by a Dutchman three times, an Englishman twice, and an Irishman once. Justin van Tergouw is the only player to win the World Championship twice in 2017 and 2018.

When it becomes clear in 2020 that the BDO will no longer survive, the tournament also comes to an end. After 43 years, of which the youth had their own tournament for 7 years, the tournament that made darts in England, and across the world, is over.
