OUR STORY…
The IWFFA is the umbrella organization for female football teams, leagues, and individual players around the world. It is an organization for women, run by women.
The IWFFA Roots: It started out as a grass roots regional organization based in New York with fewer than 1,000 women. It grew from there to become a national organization and ultimately a global one that encompasses over 20 countries around the world and has attracted more than 25,000 members. We continue to expand our sphere of influence and grow.
Organized In 1997, Our Non-Profit Status Was Formalized In 2018. The IWFFA offers girls and women’s flag football tournaments in North America, Scandinavia, Central America, Asia and Caribbean Regions. The IWFFA has introduced the sport of flag football in countries including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, El Salvador, Guatemala and Afghanistan.
The Ultimate Goal of The IWFFA is to utilize the sport of flag football to catapult unity and camaraderie amongst women of different backgrounds around the world. Thus, using the leadership skills they learn by way of the game to make a difference in their communities. Our mission is to provide an opportunity for all females regardless of race, nationality, age, skill level, economic status or sexual orientation to enjoy healthy competition, have fun, develop teamwork skills, learn fair play and female empowerment. We also offer scholarship funds to underprivileged teams so that they may compete in IWFFA tournaments.
Our Media: The IWFFA produces a monthly newsletter and Forward Pass Magazine which is a bi-annual girls and women’s flag football magazine. On the Air with the IWFFA is a monthly radio podcast which features interviews of players, coaches and celebrities. Also, the IWFFA distributes Tournament Programs at our live events.
Largest Women’s Flag Football Tournament: One tournament which made a huge impact on Women’s Flag Football is the Kelly McGillis Classic International Women & Girls Flag Football Championship in Key West Florida, endorsed by the actress and local resident to Key West.

A Sponsoring Partnership with the IWFFA means your company is also targeting women around the world. It means your company places a high value on ensuring women are afforded opportunities to nurture a healthy mind and body through sports. A partnership with us means we are activists working together in leading a global movement that empowers women all around the world by breaking gender inequalities and stereotypes in society. We are expanding into countries that still don’t recognize women as equals in everyday society.
The IWFFA programs are the gateway to equality for women. They allow women to show the world that they are strong, they are not afraid to work hard, and they can accomplish anything that they put their minds to.
Our partners are “revolutionaries” who are daring and bold. They are influencers affecting positive change and being a part of something very dynamic and positive.
Sports not only allows the world to be amazed by what female athletes are accomplishing, but sports allow women to support women. Women are working together to raise each other up and help each other succeed. This is perhaps one of the most empowering things that sports provides.
