 The championships have been conducted every two years since the 1982 tournament, amended from being conducted every three years since the first tournament held in 1948–1949.

The final phase of the tournament involves twelve teams competing at venues within a host nation and is played concurrently with the final phase of the world women's team championships, the Uber Cup (first held in 1956–1957).

Since 1984 the two competitions have been held jointly at the various stages of play.

Of the twenty-eight Thomas Cup tournaments held since 1948–1949, only five nations have won the title.

Indonesia is the most successful team, having won the tournament thirteen times.

China, which did not begin to compete until the 1982 series, follows Indonesia with nine titles, while Malaysia has won five titles. Japan and Denmark both have one.
