International Rogaining Federation
International Rogaining Federation (IRF) is the peak international body for the sport of rogaining. The aims of the IRF are to promote rogaining worldwide, maintain the culture and the rules of the sport.
The IRF has adopted the Rules of Rogaining, which set the basic rules of the sport, govern the conduct of competitors and set minimum technical standards for championship rogaines.
The IRF sanctions World Rogaining Championships, which are held bi-annually as from 2017 (previously have been held annually 2012-2017, previously once in two years). The IRF issues Geoduck awards to rogaining administrators and event organisers for long-term contributions to international rogaining.
According to the IRF Constitution, membership is restricted to national associations, which are representative of rogainers and take responsibility for the development of rogaining in a country.
As of January 2026 there were ten member associations of the IRF:
Several countries hold an observer status with the IRF, being represented by individuals on behalf of rogaining communities of these countries.
The IRF is governed by a Council consisting of Councillors representing member associations (two representatives nominated by each member association) and members of the Executive.
Day-to-day management of the IRF is vested in the Executive, which has seven positions: the President, the Vice-President, the Secretary, the Treasurer, the Promotion and Development Manager, the World Championships Manager and the Technical Manager.
