2014 IWRF World Championship was the 6th international world wheelchair rugby competition, which took place between August 4 to August 10. The championships were contested between the world's twelve top national teams and was held at the Arena Fyn at Odense Congress Center in Odense, Denmark. The tournament was won by Australia, their first title.[1]

As winners, Australia took the first slot for the wheelchair rugby tournament at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio.[2]

Tournament
