The IQA Continental Games take place every other year, on the opposite year to the IQA World Cup, and see national and regional teams compete within specific regions across the world.
Continental regions are determined by the IQA by team density and reasonable travel distances for our members. If you’re a National Governing Bodies who does not have a Continental Games within your region, you may be invited to join an alternative Continental Games event.
