World's Strongest Woman (later known asStrongwoman World Championships,World's Strongest Lady andUnited Strongmen Women's World Championships) is an annualstrongwoman contest. The event is often regarded as the most prestigious event in the sport, analogous toWorld's Strongest Man; however, with the growing popularity of alternative events such as theRogue Invitational andArnold Strongwoman Classic, many major competitors have opted to focus on other competitions. From 2001 to 2003, it was held during the same time and same location as World's Strongest Man.[1]
After the withdrawal of sponsorsTWI andBBC, theInternational Federation of Strength Athletes replaced it with the Strongwoman World Championships from 2005 to 2008. The contest returned as the World's Strongest Lady in 2011,[2] and from 2012 as the United Strongmen Women's World Championships,[3] before reverting back to its original name in 2016.
Since 2019, the competition was held inDaytona Beach,United States. The 2023 competition was held inCharleston, West Virginia and the 2024 edition inMadison, Wisconsin. In 2025 the completion will be in Arlington Texas November 20th - 23rd.
