Internationalen Rafting Federation PDF Print E-mail

In many European countries rafting sport is organized in associations and clubs whose teams take part in national championships. Internationally, rafting is organized by the International Rafting Association (IRF) which by now comprises over 40 countries. In addition to the national races, a European cup series has been launched which covers 6 to 7 races held all over Europe (2006: Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Slovenia, Austria and Norway).

World and European Championships are held alternately each year. Especially in Eastern Europe rafting has reached unexpected popularity (3000 to 4000 spectators per contest at the World Championships in the Czech Republic).
