Wheelchair Rugby is a team sport for male and female quadriplegics. It is a unique sport created by athletes with a disability that combines some elements of Basketball, Rugby and Ice Hockey. The object of the game is to carry the ball across the opposing team's goal line. Two wheels must cross the goal line for a goal to count, and the player must have firm control of the ball when he or she crosses the line.

All Wheelchair Rugby players compete in manual wheelchairs. Players must meet the minimum disability criteria of the sport, and must be classifiable under the sport classification rules.

The New Zealand Wheel Blacks have been a driving force in this event and currently hold 1st place in the IWRF World Rankings.
