Welcome to Northwest Youth Rodeo Association!

The Northwest Youth Rodeo Association “NWYRA” was founded in 1974 and has grown to be the largest youth rodeo association in the Pacific Northwest.  We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization that operates completely from sponsorships, donations and fundraising.

NWYRA is a family-oriented, all-volunteer association that provides the opportunity for young cowboys and cowgirls to compete in the great American Sport of Rodeo.
