The IWRF Asia-Oceania Championship or IWRF Asia-Oceania Zone Championship is the Asian-Oceanian wheelchair rugby championships that take place every two years between national teams of the continents. The Asia-Oceania Championship is also a qualifying tournament for the IWRF World Championships and the Paralympic Games.
Before 2009 the tournament was known as the Oceania Championship. The first Oceania Championship was held in 2001.[1]
Due to the lack of another teams in Africa, the South Africa is also competing in this championship. Canada was part of the tournament in 2007, but is since 2009 part of the IWRF Americas Championship.
