The double pulsar system J0737-3039A/B is one of the most intriguing pulsar discoveries of the last decade. This binary system, with an orbital period of only 2.4-hr, provides a truly unique laboratory for relativistic gravity. Its discovery enhances of about an order of magnitude the estimate of the merger rate of double neutron stars systems, opening new possibilities for the current generation of gravitational wave detectors. In this contribution we summarize the present results and look at the prospects of future observations.
