World Artistic Gymnastics Championships – Women's uneven bars

Women's events at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships[1][2] were first held in 1934 at the 10th World Championships. Only the All-Around and Team events were held. In 1938, at the 11th World Championships, the other apparatus events were added. Originally women participated at parallel bars competition (like in the men's program). Starting from 1950, at the 12th World Championships, it was replaced with uneven bars competition which has been held in every year since its inception.

Three medals are awarded: gold for first place, silver for second place, and bronze for third place. Tie breakers have not been used in every year. In the event of a tie between two gymnasts, both names are listed, and the following position (second for a tie for first, third for a tie for second) is left empty because a medal was not awarded for that position. If three or more gymnastics tied for a position, the following two positions are left empty.
