The pinnacle of the O60s season will of course be the IMC Over-60s World Cup, held in Toronto in August. Australia will be looking to defend the title they won in Chennai in 2024, but there are plenty of other strong contenders as the age group goes from strength to strength. This is also a great opportunity to develop the game in North America, so we wish Canada (CCMC) all the very best of luck.![]()

Then we have the IMC Over-40s World Cup in Guyana in October/November, which will be equally intriguing. South Africa won the last World Cup, at home in 2024, but this tournament is looking wide open at the moment. This is also the first IMC World Cup to be held in the West Indies, so good luck to them as well.![]()
