Gibraltar competed in the Sudirman Cup mixed team finals in 2001 and 2003. Gibraltar competed as the neutral "IBF Team" in the 2001 Sudirman Cup due to the Gibraltar dispute. An appeal by the Gibraltar Badminton Association to compete under the Gibraltar name and flag was rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
