National Paralympic Committee

National Paralympic Committee

National Paralympic Committees (or NPCs) are the national constituents of the worldwide Paralympic movement. Subject to the controls of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), they are responsible for organizing their people's participation in the Paralympic Games.

The Paralympic Games are a major international multi-sport event where athletes with physical disabilities compete; this includes athletes with mobility disabilities, amputations, blindness, and Cerebral Palsy. There are Winter and Summer Paralympic Games, which are held immediately following their respective Olympic Games.

As of 2010, there are 165 NPC members of the IPC.[1] Only NPCs in good standing may enter athletes in the Paralympic Games. Within countries, some NPCs serve as the national governing body for one or more sports, while others only act as the IPC member with responsibility for Paralympic Games.
