NAPF History & Mission
The NAPF initiated competition with the North
American Cup Championships that was held during
March 2003, in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania [USA].
NAPF member nations will be both members of the
NAPF and of the IPF. The North American Powerlifting
Federation ratified a provisional constitution in
Akita City, Japan in 2000, with confirmation at
the first full Congress of the NAPF on April 9,
2004 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida [USA]. In April
2004, the NAPF hosted its first Regional Championships
and Congress in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida [USA]. NAPF
Championship Records were established during 2004,
in the Open Division. Bench Press records will be
established during October 2006, at the conclusion
of the 1st NAPF Bench Press Championships.
With the commencement of NAPF championship competition,
we hope to offer the opportunity for powerlifting
athletes from the North American region to enjoy
international competition, and to further the friendship
between member federation officials and athletes
as well as our respective countries.
If you're interested in taking part in one of
our championships or becoming involved as a volunteer,
