When we share the same rules, it all comes down to skill. The best throwers compete against the best, elevating the entire sport.
A standardized playbook unites all leagues and allows anyone to compete with others, no matter which league you play in or where you live.
Today, the IATF represents over 10,000 league members, men and women, in over 125 cities and 6 countries. Our mandate promotes fair competition, safety, and sportsmanship.
The IATF and our member organizations host elite axe throwing tournaments open to all IATF members. Our axe throwing league calendar culminates at the annual International Axe Throwing Championship (IATC) in Toronto where the coveted Wilson Cup is awarded.

Announcements
Due to the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the IATF is amending plans for IATC 2021. Uncertainties around safe travel; regulations on physical distancing with large groups/events; and the US / Canada border closure, all needed to be considered - and would have made an event similar to 2020 almost impossible given the circumstances we all have today.
Stay up to date on events in the IATF community.
