The final rounds were held from May 9 to May 16 at Putra Indoor Stadium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which was also the same venue of the 2000 Thomas & Uber Cup, when Indonesia get their 12th title in the Thomas Cup after defeat China by 3–0 in the final. But, Indonesia defeated by China, also by 0–3 in the final, to ensure the China's eighth title in the Thomas Cup, while Korea won the Uber Cup after defeat China with 3–1 score.

Host city selection

Badminton World Federation initially intended to split the Thomas and Uber Cup finals as separate tournaments. Malaysia was the only bidder for Thomas Cup finals, while China and South Korea were interested to host the Uber Cup finals.[1] The plan to split the tournaments was eventually abandoned and Malaysia was asked to hold the Uber Cup final together.[2]
