The Tug of War International Federation (TWIF) is the international governing body for the sport of tug of war.
Member countries
Due to national organization and historical rivalry, certain countries are listed below as individuals, rather than as members of a larger political union. For example, the Home Countries compete as separate nations, and the Basque Country has its own team.
