The 2011 Women's U25 Wheelchair Basketball World Championship as the first ever wheelchair basketball world championship for women in the under-25 age category. The event was run by Wheelchair Basketball Canada in partnership with Brock University on behalf of the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation. (IWBF) Wheelchair Basketball Canada is a non-profit, charitable organization that is the national governing body of the sport in Canada, and the Canadian member of the IWBF. The event organisers hoped to raise the profile of the sport in Canada, and boost Canada's (ultimately successful) bid for the 2014 Women's World Wheelchair Basketball Championship.[1]
