The IWRF Asia-Oceania Championship or IWRF Asia-Oceania Zone Championship is the name commonly used to refer to 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]
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.
