The Confédération Européene de Billard (CEB) is European governing body of carom billiards and is affiliated to the world federation UMB.
The CEB was founding on 12 July 1958 in Geneva. Its predecessor was the Fédération Internationale de Billard (FIB). They and the Union Internationale des Amateurs d'Fédérations de Billiard (UIFAB) competed in 1957 to host the CEB European Three-cushion Championship, and thus two championships were held this year. The dispute had been settled the following year.
The CEB is responsible for the carom billiards sports in Europe in general, and its affiliated national associations. In addition to all European national associations, the associations from Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Russia and Cyprus, are affiliated to the CEB.
