Definition
上届 refers to the immediately preceding term, session, or period of office — used for elected bodies (congress, committee), sports events (World Cup, Olympics), or any recurring institutional cycle. It contrasts with 本届 (current term) and 下届 (next term). The word is a noun that typically modifies another noun directly (上届政府, 上届奥运会) without a classifier.
