World's Strongest Team is an annual strongman contest organized by Ultimate Strongman and Strongman Champions League that consists of two men teams (occasionally three) from various countries all over the world. It was inspired by the last three Pure Strength championships and the teams were named according to their ancestral traits and geographical locations.
The contest was first held in 1995 and during the first two years, it was held with three men per team. From 1997 onwards it was held with two men per team. During mid 2000s, it was assisted by IFSA and in 2021 was taken over and held by Strongman Champions League .
Some of the famous annual events include team deadlifts, team deadlift static holds, super yokes, rock lifts, Atlas stones, stone carries, four-man pole push, tug of war, medley, railway track farmers walk, Basque circle and arm over arm vehicle pull.
