Korfball in Wales has been played since 1991 and is managed by the Welsh Korfball Association. The association was established in 2002 and the Welsh Korfball Squad was formed in 2005. In 2007, the International Korfball Federation admitted Wales as an associate member.
Welsh clubs traditionally competed against English clubs from the South West of England and the inaugural Welsh National Korfball League was founded in 2007, though the top teams in Wales continue to participate in the English league structure. Welsh clubs also compete in the IKF Europa Cup, Welsh Championships, and BUCS Competitions.
The Welsh Korfball Squad has been successful on the international stage, appearing at their only World Championship in 2011 following the withdrawal of Hungary. Wales participated the World Championship Qualifiers in Turkey, 2022, and hosted its first official IKF event, Round 1 of the Europa Cup, in Cardiff in September 2016, followed by the Celtic Tri-Nations and Champions League First Round in 2023.
