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). The
purpose of the IWRF is to help develop, promote and regulate the
sport of Wheelchair Ruby on a global basis.
Currently there are twenty-eight
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 out
please

The International Wheelchair Rugby Federation is a member of International Wheelchair
and Amputee Sports (IWAS), which is formerly known as the
International Stoke Mandeville Wheelchair Sports Federation. IWAS
is an organisation which enables and supports the growth and
achievements of athletes within the Paralympic movement based on
the traditions of Stoke Mandeville.
