2025 International Axe Throwing Championship

February 6, 2025

Welcome to the culmination of the 2024-2025 IATF Integrated Tournament Circuit and League Season.


We've made some adjustments to the tournament schedule for this year:


  • We've raised the average limit on the Under 55 & 65 Tournaments to Under 60 & 70 Tournaments.
  • We've expanded the most popular tournaments, Big Axe, "Women's", and Doubles, so more throwers can compete for the title.
  • The new name for the "Women's Tournament" will be announced soon.
  • The Close But No Cigar Final will be held on Thursday evening at BATL Port Lands, following the conclusion of the "Women's Tournament".
  • The Challenger Series Team is back for more fun and games this year, but they've got some new tricks up their sleeves. Stay tuned! 
  • We restructured the schedule on Sunday at Homecoming. Due to popular demand, the top 32 throwers from Round 2 Day 1 of the Wilson Cup will advance to Day 2. There will be more coverage of Wilson Cup matches on the Livestream.
  • ALL FINALS for ALL TOURNAMENTS will take place on Sunday at Homecoming.

The Awards Ceremony will be held at Homecoming immediately after the final axes are thrown and the after party will go on into the night.


Join us this year in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for this celebration of champions from around the world!
