The World Federation of National Mathematics Competitions is an organisation of national mathematics competitions affiliated since 1994 as a Special Interest Group of the International Commission for Mathematical Instruction (ICMI).  The Group has been active since the mid-80s.

• The Journal "Mathematics Competitions".
• An international conference every four years. Previous conferences were held in Waterloo, Canada (1990), Pravets, Bulgaria (1994), ZhongShan, China (1998).  The next, is scheduled for Melbourne, Australia in 2002.
• David Hilbert and Paul Erdös Awards for mathematicians prominent on an international or national scale in mathematical enrichment activites.

The Federation aims to provide a focal point for those interested in, and concerned with, conducting national mathematics competitions for the purpose of stimulating the learning of mathematics. Its objectives include:

• Serving as a resource for the exchange of information and ideas on mathematics competitions through publications and conferences.
• Assisting with the development and improvement of mathematics competitions.
• Increasing public awareness of the role of mathematics competitions in the education of all students and assuring that the importance of that role is properly recognised in academic circles.
• Creating and enhancing professional links between mathematicians involved in competitions around the world.
