A world cup is a global sporting competition in which the participant entities - usually National Teams or individuals representing their nation - compete for the title of world champion. A world cup is generally considered the premier competition in its sport, with the victor attaining the highest honour in that sport and able to lay claim to the title of their sport's best. However, in some sports the Olympic title carries at least as much prestige.
Notable world cups include the Cricket World Cup, the Rugby World Cup and the Athletics World Cup, but it is the much older FIFA World Cup (a football tournament) that is widely known simply as 'the World Cup' The American Heritage ® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition.
Some sport governing bodies prefer the title world championship or a related term; some even organise both a world cup and a world championship with different rules. Usually, such competitions take one of two forms, a short periodic competition or a year-long series of meetings.
