WRCA (World Ranching Cowboys Association) is a cornerstone of the working cowboy community, founded in 1995 in Amarillo, Texas. The organization is dedicated to promoting the ranching lifestyle and preserving the traditions that define working cowboys. WRCA sanctions the annual World Championship Ranch Rodeo, a premier event that brings competitors from across the U.S. to showcase skill, teamwork, and grit. The finals are traditionally held at the Amarillo Civic Center Complex, drawing fans from across the country. Beyond the rodeo, WRCA operates the WRCA Foundation, which provides scholarships and family support to working ranch cowboys, helping to sustain rural communities for generations to come. The Youth World Championship Ranch Rodeo further expands opportunities for younger competitors, fueling the next generation of ranching champions.
