The English Bridge Union (EBU) is a membership-funded organisation committed to promoting the game of duplicate bridge. It is also a National Bridge Organisation in its own right affiliated to the European Bridge League and the World Bridge Federation.

The EBU is made up of 39 constituent County Associations each with nominees holding shares. At its AGM in October, the shareholders elect a Board of ten directors and then, among their number, a Chairman and Vice-Chairman.

The 39 counties nominate over 80 delegates, which forms a Council who meet four times a year to determine policy in the government of the game.

Every year the Council elects an Honorary Treasurer and three committees. The committees, which are the Tournament Committee, Law and Ethics committee and International Selection, consist of seven elected members.

In addition, there are sub committees of the Board which include the Editorial board, Education Sub Committee, Online Advisory Group and Computer Working Party.

The national headquarters of the English Bridge Union are in Aylesbury where over 20 professional people support and advise the committees and help implement policy.
