The first World Championship G17 was held in 2009 and it has since been held every other year.

The first World Championship Y16 was held in 1994. Starting with 2002, it has been for Y15 teams since.

The first World Championship Y17 was held in 1975, the next in 1979. It is worth noting, that the Soviet Union took part in both 1975 and 1979 but did not win a medal until the third installment in 1981. In 1995 and 1997 it was Y18 teams instead of Y17.

World Championship Y19 has been held biannually since 1968. In 1994 and 1996 it was Y20 teams instead.

World Championship Y23 were held in 1990 and in 1992, but then the next was not held until 2011.
