The Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) is the oldest women's sports organization in the country, founded in 1948 by a group of Texas ranch women. Originally known as the Girls Rodeo Association (GRA), the association changed its name to WPRA in 1981. Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, WPRA provides opportunities for women across the United States and Canada to compete in barrel racing, team roping, breakaway roping, and tie-down roping events, with over 3,000 members and payouts totaling over $5 million.
With a rich history and a commitment to promoting women's participation in rodeo, WPRA continues to be a leading organization in the sport, offering a range of programs and events for its members. From the World Championship Barrel Racing to the WPRA Divisional Circuit and Futurity Derby, WPRA provides a platform for women to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level in the world of rodeo.
