About the IRCs


Founded in 2011, the IJA Regional Competitions were established to meet the IJA’s mission of rendering assistance to fellow jugglers on a global level. Hosted by juggling and circus festivals around the world, the IRCs are stage juggling competitions which award excellence for juggling technique and creativity.

There here have now been 33 IJA Regional Competitions in 17 countries. These events have created a ripple effect on the advancement of juggling worldwide, launching the careers of many young jugglers and inspiring the progress of entire regional juggling communities.

“The International Jugglers’ Association has been an incredible resource for me over the last decade. The work they are doing to expand their global reach is incredibly important both for the people that participate and for the juggling community at large. If you have the ability to make a small donation to this great cause, please consider it.”Brian Koenig
“Hi jugglers, I want to share my experience of participation in the IRC, especially how it helped me on my professional development as a juggler and artist. For sure IRC changed my juggling career, I got prop sponsors mostly thanks to it. I made my first multi-prop routine motivated by the participation, so it helped me also as a choreographer. So yes, it was very special and I hope this activities keeps going!
A big hug to all the IJA directors and members!”Jeair Burbôa
“Keep up the awesome work!!” ♥️Florence Huet
“I’ve officiated this competition in the past – in Mexico and Israel – and the impact is has on budding performers is really incredible. It’s been the springboard for a lot of youngsters’ careers!”Thom Wall

“The IJA sometimes gets a bad rap for not being truly “International.” Like the “World” Series, for a long time the “I” in IJA was more aspirational than real. In the last few years however, great strides have been made in International outreach, led by the tireless efforts of Erin Stephens. I’m proud of her. I’m proud of the Juggling community of which I am but a small part. I’m proud of our art form, which has made such strides, and has such potential to enrich people’s lives.”Bill Biz Obrisch
