History
Final edition	2022 ADCC World Championship

The ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship is an international submission grappling competition, organised by the Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC). The inaugural tournament was held in Abu Dhabi, UAE in 1998. It has been held every two years since 2001, except in 2021 due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Host countries have included Brazil, China, Finland, Spain, the UK, and the US.

Competitors can only participate after winning ADCC trials or by invitation. While most athletes are primarily from Brazilian jiu-jitsu, it is open to competitors from any grappling style. ADCC is considered the most prestigious submission grappling tournament in the world, and is commonly referred to as "the Olympics of grappling".

The 2022 edition took place in front of 13,000 fans in attendance at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. In 2024 it will be held 17-18 August at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
