Orienteering at the World Games is organized as an individual competition for both women and men, and a mix relay for teams of two men and two women.
The International Orienteering Federation (IOF) became a member of the International World Games Association (IWGA) in 1995. The World Games are held every four years, for sports that are not contested in the Olympic Games. Orienteering was first included in the program in 2001.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or games:
“Thus truth’s established and borne out,
Though circumstanced with dark and doubt—
Though by a world of doubt surrounded.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
