The 2014 Beach Handball World Championships were a twelve-team tournament in both men's and women's beach handball, held at Recife, Brazil from 22–27 July, 2014.
Just like two years prior, Brazil again won the gold medal in both, the men's and women's competition.
After playing a round-robin, the three top ranked team advanced to the Main Round.
Every team played three games and after those round there wereplacement matches from 7th–12th place.
When teams are equal in points the head-to-head result was decisive.
