The IRF collects membership fees as a primary method for paying for the expenses necessary to administer the IRF.   The fees are set by the IRF Board of Directors as required under the IRF Bylaws.

The IRF offers two options for our National Member Organisations to pay membership fees – an Established Fee Option or an Ordinary Fee Option. These fee options are designed to best fit how active our members are in international races.  The Established Fee Option is typically a better fit for our larger, more active members.  The Ordinary Fee Option is typically a better fit or our smaller, less active members.

The fees for 2025 are as follows:

Ordinary Fee Option (OFO) for each member who has teams that participate in the following races:

• World Rafting Champs (WRC)   – For each Open and Masters team = $200 USD fee
                                                  For each U19 and U23 team = $160 USD fee
  
• Euro Rafting Champs (ERC)     – For each Open and Masters teams = $140 USD fee
                                                  For each U19 and U23 teams = $100 USD fee

Established Fee Option (EFO):

• $550 USD (due annually in March) – This fee covers all team participation in all IRF race competitions.

Note that Membership Fees do not include race registration fees that are charged by race organizers.
