The Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association (CPISRA) was an international sports and recreation association for cerebral palsy and related neurological conditions. A founding member of the paralympic movement, CPISRA organised recreational opportunities, developed adaptive sports and organised sport events for people with Cerebral Palsy and related neurological conditions. CPISRA was formed in 1969. It was made up of worldwide members and a community of volunteers including an advisory board, specialist committees and networks.

In November 2022, CPISRA merged with IWAS (International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation) to form World Abilitysport. CPISRA and IWAS were both IOSD members of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).

History The first CP World Games were held by the International CP Society (ICPS) in 1972. CPISRA became independent from the ICPS in 1978 and since then has held regular regional and world championships. In 2018, Sant Cugat del Vallès hosted the CPISRA World Games and welcomed 600 participants from 30 countries. This transpired to be the last CPISRA World Games, before the introduction of World Abilitysport Games in 2023.
