The USA Wheelchair Rugby Team retained their title as world champions at the 2010 Wheelchair Rugby World Championships in Vancouver, Canada.

In a rematch of the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games final, the USA once again managed to edge a very strong Australia 57:45.

It was the USA's fourth world title in five World Championships and, as the event acted as a qualifer for the London 2012 Paralympic Games, they are the first to qualify and will definitely start as favourites to retain their title in the British capital.

The number one ranked team in the official International Wheelchair Rugby Federation (IWRF) world rankings has won every major event since the 2006 Wheelchair Rugby World Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand.
