The International Wheelchair Rugby Federation (IWRF)

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 27 nations that actively participate in the sport of Wheelchair Rugby, or who are developing programs within their country. 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 contact us.

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.
