The World Three-Cushion Championship is a billiards competition held in the Americas.
This lack of popularity resulted in a lull in the occurrence of additional tournaments in the United States for several years.
In the subsequent decades, the tournament was held only once in 1899 and was won by William Catton.
The popularity of three-cushion billiards increased with the introduction of the Lambert Trophy in 1907.
These were designed for both amateur and professional players, with the winner receiving a trophy or cup.
