This is a list internationally-based sports unions, all of which functions as an unofficial governing body that governs specific sports and regulates its sport at a world level, usually by drafting rules in the sport, and promoting it to fans and prospective spectators, developing prospective players, and organising international or continental championships. Some international sports federations, like for instance the International Swimming Federation and the International Skating Union, may supervise multiple sports, which is referred to in common parlance as separate sports. FINA has, for instance, the power to regulate swimming, diving, synchronised swimming and water polo as separate "disciplines" within the single "sport" of Aquatics.
International sports associations form an integral component of both the Olympic as well as Paralympic movements. Every Olympic sport has been represented by its specific international sports federation, which also helps to manage the activities in its specific sports during Games. To be considered an Olympic sport its international sports association must be recognised by the International Olympic Committee.
A global sports association must be recognized by the International Paralympic Committee for their sport to be classified as paralympic, however in the second case, certain Paralympic Sports are overseen by a specific commission of International Paralympic Committee in its own right, in accordance with World Para branding, for example , track and field. for athletes who are handicapped is controlled by the IPC and its name "World Para Athletics". Other Paralympic activities are governed under the structure of the able-bodied counterpart like the UCI regulates both able and paralympic cycling.
