The World Strongman Cup Federation ("WSCF") is a worldwide organisation within strength athletics

The Federation organises the World Strongman Cup one of the main competitions in the field of strength athletics
boasting participation from some of the foremost strongmen
around the globe. It is a separate competition from the World's Strongest Man
, the Strongman Super Series
(producing a World Champion) and the IFSA World Championship).
competition, the IFSA managed the annual World's Strongest Man
contest. However, that year saw an acrimonious dividing of the sport with the IFSA forming its own competition and with the World's Strongest Man
("WSM") continuing to be organised by TWI, an IMG Media company. The WSM itself was never a federation, but an event organised commercially. When the IFSA formed their own competition and banned their contracted athletes from competing in the WSM, the World Strongman Cup Federation ("WSCF") filled a void and signed up many of the non-IFSA athletes. At the 2005 WSM finals, two thirds of the athletes were under contract with the WSCF. Since its inception the WSMCF has organised events in many countries including: United States of America, Canada, Germany, Austria, Russia, Serbia, Poland and Spain. Its flagship event is the World Strongman Cup.
