National Paralympic Committees
National organisations recognised by the IPC as the sole representative of the Paralympic Movement in their country or territory.
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the global governing body of the Paralympic Movement and a membership‑based, non‑profit organisation, focused on athletes. A central part of its structure is its network of National Paralympic Committees (NPCs), each recognised as the sole representative of the Paralympic Movement in its country or territory. NPCs are responsible for developing Para sport at national level and have the exclusive right to enter athletes in the Paralympic Games and other IPC competitions.
As of 1 January 2026, the IPC has 211 member organisations including 185 NPCs.
