World Croquet Federation
The World Croquet Federation is the world governing body for croquet. Its primary objective is to make the various codes of the game "well-known, well-understood, well-respected and well-supported sports in countries throughout the world". To that end, it encourages, promotes and develops Golf Croquet and Association Croquet internationally at all levels. The WCF sanctions various croquet tournaments for both individuals and national teams, held worldwide, maintains world rankings for individuals and nations, and governs changes to the laws of Association Croquet and the rules of Golf Croquet.
The WCF was first formed in 1986 as a committee spearheaded by members of the English Croquet Association, with the intention of holding a World Championship. The first General Meeting was held alongside the first World Championship in July 1989. At the outset, Australia, England, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, and the USA were Full Members, with Canada, France, Italy, Jersey, and South Africa as Observer Members.
