World's Strongest Team is an annual strongman contest organized by Ultimate Strongman and Strongman Champions League that consists of two men teams (occasionally three) from various countries all over the world. It was inspired by the last three Pure Strength championships and the teams were named according to their ancestral traits and geographical locations.
