The World Games of 2005 took place in Duisburg, Germany from 14 July 2005 until 24 July 2005. Three cities namely Bottrop, Mulheim, and Oberhausen, also held some of the competition events. More than 3,000 athletes competed in 39 non-Olympic sports.

Nearly 6,000 athletes, officials, coaches, referees and others from 103 countries participated in the 2009 Kaohsiung World Games, setting a record high for the multi-sport competition. The International World Games Association (IWGA) President Ron Froehlich praised the July16–26 games as the "best games ever."
