Natjecanja od onog 1962. u Čileu su naizmjence davana američkim i evropskim zemljama, a jedini iznimak je bio Svjetski kup 2002, čiji domaćini su zajednički bili Koreja i Japan, te aktuelni, koji se održava u Južnoj Africi.
The competitons since the 1962 one in Chile have been given alternately to American and European countries, the only exceptions being the 2002 World Cup that was hosted jointly by Korea and Japan and the current one under way in South Africa.
