The International Rogaining Federation is the world governing body for the sport. The Federation comprises 10 member countries and a number of observer countries. The International Rogaining Federation strives to provide the opportunity for rogaining in as many parts of the world as practicable. This is done by:

  • Supporting rogaining where it already happens

  • Raising the event and organisational quality of all rogaines
  • Developing and growing sustainable national rogaining peak bodies
  • Ensuring regular high-quality, well organised and technically challenging World Rogaining Championships

The most important achievement of the IRF has been the worldwide acceptance of a common ethos and uniform standards for the sport. The IRF also maintains communication between rogaining groups, coordinates the holding of regular World Rogaining Championships
