From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The IRV Team World Championships (known as the Team World Cup until 2023) is an international wheel gymnastics competition where the top four national teams compete against each other. It is organized every two years by the International Wheel Gymnastics Federation (IRV).[1]

Competition format

[edit]

The competition consists of six rounds, with each nation performing one routine per round. The highest-scoring routine in each round earns 4 points, the second-highest 3 points, third place 2 points, and fourth place 1 point. In addition, each team has one joker, which doubles the points earned in a selected round. The team with the highest point total after all six rounds wins the competition.[2]

Separate competitions are held for junior and senior teams. Teams consist of 4 to 6 athletes. Each team performs six routines across different disciplines (2× straight line, 2× spiral, 1× vault, and 1× routine in a discipline chosen by the team). [2]

Nations qualify for the Team World Championships based on their results at the preceding Wheel Gymnastics World Championships.[3]

Until 2008, an "All-Star" team also competed alongside the qualifying national teams. This team was composed of top individual finalists from the previous World Championships as well as gymnasts from host clubs.[4]

2027

[edit]

The 2027 IRV Team World Championships will take place in Salzburg, Austria. Germany, Switzerland, Israel, and the Netherlands have qualified for the event.[5][6]

The 2025 IRV Team World Championships were held as part of the International German Gymnastics Festival (Deutsches Turnfest) in Leipzig, Germany[7]. For the first time in history, the junior world title was shared between Switzerland and Israel rather than won outright by Germany.[8]
