Who We Are
The International Wheelchair Rugby Federation (IWRF) was first established in 1993, as a sport section of the International Stoke Mandeville Wheelchair Sports Federation (ISMWSF), which today is known as International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports (IWAS). On January 1, 2010, the International Wheelchair Rugby Federation became an independent sport federation of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), and is today recognized as the governing body responsible for the sport of wheelchair rugby.

The purpose of the International Wheelchair Rugby Federation (IWRF) is to help develop, promote and regulate the sport of Wheelchair Ruby on a global basis.

Currently there are twenty-seven countries that actively participate in the sport of wheelchair rugby, or who are developing programs within their nation. The IWRF can assist countries interested in establishing programs of their own in a number of ways. To request information on how we can help, please contact us.
