World Paragliding Championships

Team and Ball-Sport World Cups

The World Paragliding Championships are described as the main competitive paragliding championships in the world and are organised by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the world air sports federation. The article records two disciplines. Cross country paragliding has a list of events with overall, female and nations results and an all-time medal table covering 1991 to 2025, updated after the 2025 championships. Paragliding accuracy has its own list of events with overall, female and nations results and an all-time medal table covering 2000 to 2023, updated after the 2023 World Paragliding Accuracy Championships. The medal tables cite the federation medalist records and the AirSports calendar, so the championships are tracked as a continuing series of editions in each discipline rather than a single event.
