International Ringette Federation
The International Ringette Federation (IRF) is a non-profit amateur sports organization and the highest governing body for the sport of ringette. Today the member countries of the IRF Board includes four member nations: Canada, Finland, Sweden, and the United States.

The inaugural year of the World Ringette Council's international ringette tournament, the World Ringette Championships, took place in Canada in 1990 World Ringette Championships, 1 ...
