Duplicate Bridge has been a social pastime in the Cayman Islands for over 50 years, started by Michael Cantin in the old Cayman Arms pub. Sir Vassal Johnson who lived in George Town was Cayman’s first Financial Secretary, also the first Caymanian to be knighted by the Queen was a quiet, dignified, gentleman who loved to play Bridge. He was Cayman’s Bridge club champion for years.

At the Cayman Islands Bridge Club, we play with the emphasis not so much on winning the game as on enjoying it.  

We are primarily a Members' Club, but visitors with at least some experience of playing Duplicate Bridge are welcome to come along and play.

Our Duplicate Bridge sessions are on Tuesday evenings and Friday mornings.  We offer Beginner Play/Duplicate sessions on Monday afternoon and Thursday evening for those who would like to practice their game and gain experience in a relaxed environment. Please check the information tab for times and our address.  

We have ongoing training sessions for Beginners and Intermediate players from time to time, always posted on our website. Please follow us on social media for upcoming training events.

There is car parking available on site and game results are available at the end of play and on this website.

Please join us at the Bridge table!

Tuesday, 23 June 2026

Are you looking to elevate your game, meet new friends and enjoy a stress-free evening of duplicate bridge? Join us on Tuesday June 23rd for a social game designed for everyone to enjoy.

Across the Table is all about collaboration, fun and growth.  We are pairing our developing and newer players with our more experienced members for an evening of shared strategy and mentorship.

If you’re new to duplicate bridge, don’t worry—this is a no-intimidation zone. Players of all skill levels are welcome, and the focus is on having fun, learning, and enjoying a relaxed, friendly evening.

How it works:

* No partner needed.  Sign up individually.

* Random matching: Our club will pair everyone up before the game.

* Register ahead of time and we will do the rest.

Not a member of the club, or don’t use RSVP bridge? Don’t worry.  Please email caymanbridgeclub@gmail.com and let us know you would like to play.
