Boules sports at the 2022 World Games
The boules sports competition at the 2022 World Games took place in July 2022,[1] in Birmingham in the United States, at Bessie Estelle Park, next to the University of Alabama Birmingham's PNC Field. Originally scheduled to take place in July 2021, the Games were rescheduled for July 2022 as a result of the 2020 Summer Olympics postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was also the first time since raffa's introduction at the 2009 World Games that it was not contested.
