When referring to the World Championships (in anything), they are often referred to as "the World's." Should it be World's or Worlds?

@larrytt,
It should be World's as the implication is for the Championships.

The title is World Championship. It is a formal title and does not change.
He won the World Championship in skateboarding.

If you are talking about the award in a casual way, use 's.

He won the world's championship last week.

@CalamityJane,
CJ is correct; it's used as a possessive.
