The World Backgammon Internet Federation (WBIF) is an internet based organisation which provides a framework to participating Nations to organise and manage online National Championship backgammon tournaments. Austria, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Italy, Georgia, Iran, Greece and Turkey organise National Championships through the WBIF, and other countries are expected to participate soon.

In addition to National Championships, the WBIF will also host and organise (with the assistance of participating Nations) the following World international events:

1. WBIF World Nations Team Tournament: World Team Championship
2. Champions Cup (for the three best Players of national championships)
3. World Cup (for fourth, fifth and sixth places in the National Championships)
4. Open tournaments for participants from all World Countries registered with the WBIF: WBIF Open

The WBIF provides and maintains a database of error-rate based performance ratings for all players participating in international WBIF events.
