The four top nations are France, Thailand, Belgium and Madagascar as per total world medal in 2018.^[2]

Championships scheduled to take place in Tahiti in 2014 were cancelled due to concern about the ebola epidemic.

History

In 1959, the first Men's Triplet Championships were held in Spa, Belgium. Originally held yearly, the event has been held every other year since 2008. World Championship were not held in 1960, 1962, 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1970 due to managerial problems within the organisation.

In 1987, the first Youth Triplet Championship was held in Hasselt, Belgium. In 1988, the first Women's Triplet Championship was held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.Starting in 1996, triplet teams are permitted to feature four players allowing the replacement of one player in any game.

In 2000, the first Men's Precision Shooting Championship was added to the Men's Triplet Championship held in São Brás de Alportel, Portugal. In 2001, the first Youth Precision Shooting Championship was added to the Youth Triplet Championship held in Lons-le-Saunier, France.
