Brunswick is a historic company founded in 1845, initially making billiard tables, and later adding bowling equipment in the 1880s. The company played a crucial role in bowling history by introducing the first fully automatic pinsetter in 1957, revolutionizing the sport. While Brunswick Corporation continues to exist as a major company in marine engines and boats, its bowling division was sold in 2015 to BlueArc Capital Management, and its bowling centers were sold to Bowlero Corporation in 2014. Today, the Brunswick name persists through the remaining bowling equipment business and its products, which are available at Brunswick Bowling.

Brunswick Bowling & Billiards was the business segment of Brunswick Corporation that historically encompassed three divisions. Billiards, which was the company's original product line, expanded to include other table games such as table tennis, air hockey, and foosball. Brunswick began manufacturing Bowling equipment and products in the 1880s. The bowling equipment line was sold to BlueArc Capital Management in 2015, which continues to use the Brunswick name among other brands. Brunswick began to directly operate Bowling centers in the mid 1960s. In 2014, the bowling centers were sold to Bowlero Corporation, which phased out the Brunswick name by 2020. The billiard operations were placed in the fitness equipment division, which was spun-off into Life Fitness in 2019. In 2022, the Brunswick Billiards line was sold to Escalade Sports.
