It is of the utmost importance to remember
that the Internet is ever-changing and
therefore the following list will always
be incomplete or outdated.
Mergers are being made.
Fusions are fused.
URLs change.

Help us to keep up to date.

First of all, you start by clicking on the icon above. The Yahoo Bridge Clubs are free and have no annual or monthly dues or fees. It is a free service provided by Yahoo and the individual bridge player should take advantage of this offer.

After you have reached the Yahoo site, you will see a window under Search Clubs. Enter the key word: bridge.

You can then select from several items on the page which appears, but we suggest that you click on the very first one, which is: Games > Card Games > Bridge.

You will then find a list of all the Bridge Clubs now available on Yahoo. Once you click on the individual links, you will either have to possess a Yahoo ID number and a Password, or remain a Guest.

If you wish to join the Club, then Yahoo requires and requests that you fill out their form, which is not tedious or obnoxious. Once you have completed the form, you will be sent the confirmation by email of your ID and Password within minutes.

From then on you can return to the Bridge Clubs, click on any or all of the Bridge Clubs listed, and then you simply click on Join This Club logo. After that, you can leave a message, chat with other bridge players when they are online, and meet other bridge players.

The individual clubs do have individual addresses, but if you are first time visitor, you can not enter directly from this page, since the visitor or club member must go through Yahoo, but that is no big deal. Bookmark the Internet Yahoo address above and you will have it in your favorite folder.

However, if you are already a member, then you can click on the individual Websites below, enter the chat rooms, and chat to your heart's content.

Y Bridge - The Official Yahoo! Bridge Club. Founded September 8, 1998 by Yahoo and The Games Guru of Santa Clara, California. This seems to be the most visited Bridge Group on Yahoo with the most members.

Bridge Groups have formed on the Internet and have taken on many forms to meet many requirements. Sometimes it is just for the enjoyment of being represented online and sometimes there is pertinent information for those players of a certain geographical area. The News Groups on the Internet have undergone a significant change throughout the years of being connected to cyberspace and a reorganization has taken place. We would like to keep up with the times and present a list of the bridge-related News Groups on the Internet. We hope that you find an interesting bridge group among the following selection. The idea is to log on to their Web site, select to join, provide some particulars about yourself, choose a name and begin corresponding with the other members of the New Groups.

We have not included any links since the individual bridge player will be requested to form his/her own individual list of Bulletin Boards and/or Groups, and these will be assigned to each bridge player according to passwords and profiles. Once you have compiled a list, then Yahoo will always remember the bridge player once logged on.
