The 2014 Pokémon World Championships were held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. in the United States from August 15 to 17, 2014. It was the eleventh invitation-only championships for players of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as the sixth for players of the Pokémon video games. It was the first time that Washington hosted the event, and the third time the event was held in the Eastern United States, previously occurring in 2004 and 2008.

This year marked the only time that all eight quarterfinalists in the TCG Masters Division were not American, the earliest exit by the United States in tournament history. Previously, 2007 was the only year in which no American played in the final.

Trading Card Game Championships

The Pokémon Trading Card Game featured the 2013-14 Modified format, using all cards from Next Destinies onward. Players were able to receive invitations from outstanding performances at their country's National Championships, the previous year's World Championships, or through the number of Championship Points they obtained throughout the year. In addition, players could win an invitation during the Last Chance Qualifier on the first day of the tournament.

The second day of the tournament featured a series of swiss rounds in each division. At the end of swiss rounds, the top eight players in each division were seeded into single-elimination tournaments, with the finals being played on Sunday, to determine each division's World Champion.

Junior Division

Ondrej Nepevny (formerly Ondrej Kujal) of the Czech Republic was the defending Pokémon Trading Card Game Champion in the Junior Division. Ondrej finished in 96th place after day two in 2014.

Haruto Kobayashi of Japan became the new Junior Division TCG World Champion, finishing with a record of 9–1.
