2014 Thomas Cup qualification

World team rankings

In June 2012, the Badminton World Federation announced that the continental qualifiers would be temporarily scrapped. Therefore, the qualification of every national team for the 2014 Thomas Cup was determined based on their national ranking. The Netherlands, Poland and Sweden withdrew from the qualification process.
