The International Cheer Union (ICU)[1] is the worldwide sports governing body of cheerleading (also known as "Cheer") and was founded in 2004. It is recognized by SportAccord[2] / Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF),[3] and is a member of the Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations (ARISF).[4] Its membership includes 116 national cheer federations on all continents - reaching over 5 million athletes globally.

In July 2021, at the 138th IOC Session in Tokyo, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted to grant full recognition to the International Cheer Union.[5][6]
