The Professional Bowls Association is an international organisation which promotes Bowls worldwide and organises competitions, including the World Indoor Bowls Championships with other Bowls Associations. It also operates as the world governing body for Bowls.

It also created the World Bowls Tour to set up and create championships and competitions to further the aims of the PBA.
The PBA has branches across the world, within Europe, in the UK (where the organisation was set up). It also has branches including in the United States, South Africa and Australia.
