Sumario:We discuss recent results on W and Z physics at LHC and Tevatron colliders. The overview includes W and Z inclusive measurements, differential cross sections and asymmetries at the LHC, as well as new studies on weak boson production in association with heavy quark jets. The single-boson analyses that are described correspond in many cases to final LHC results on 2010 pp collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV, for an integrated luminosity of ${\cal L} \approx 35$ pb$^{-1}$. We also discuss recent results on diboson production and anomalous triple gauge coupling searches, corresponding to the analysis of ${\cal L} \approx 6$ fb$^{-1}$ of Tevatron data and $\approx 1$ fb$^{-1}$ of LHC data per experiment. The reported results are found to be consistent with Standard Model expectations.
