The international governing body of archery is the International Archery Federation (FITA). Founded on the 4th of September, 1931 in Lwow, Poland, by seven countries (France, Czech Republic, Sweden, Poland, the United States, Hungary, and Italy), FITA serves to promote and regulate archery world-wide through its more than 130 Member Associations (National Federations or Associations) and in conformity with the Olympic principles. It aims at framing and interpreting the FITA Rules and arranging for the organization of World Championships and other international competitions.

The National Archery Association (NAA) of the United States was formed in 1879 to foster and promote the sport of archery through tournaments, programs and publications. Today, the NAA and its allied organizations have over 30,000 members. The NAA is the only organization recognized by the United States Olympic Committee for the purpose of selecting and training men's and women's archery teams to represent the U.S. in the Olympic Games and Pan American Games. The NAA also selects teams for the World Championships and other international meets. The NAA's National Office is located in the National Sports Building at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a subsidiary office at the USOC/ARCO Training Center in Chula Vista, California.

" The Grand National Archery Society is the governing body for the sport of archery in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Society serves nine Regional Societies.
Archery has over a hundred member nations throughout the world which are represented by the Fédération Internationale de Tir à l'Arc (F.I.T.A) which is the international governing body for the sport.
The Society's motto reads "Union, Trueheart and Courtesie"
The distinction of a sport can be traced back to its lineage. Archery is a most ancient sport, a sport of both Kings and Queens and is today the only sport providing the official royal bodyguard to the monarch. The skilful use of the medieval longbow at Crecy (1346) and at Agincourt (1415) laid down its mark in the annals of history and today we retain that history and balance it alongside a modern Olympic sport." more

" The sport of archery was introduced to Australia by the European settlers in the 18th and 19th centuries and is known to have been a flourishing social activity in the mid-1800s. However, it wasn't until the late 1930s that organised archery on an Australia-wide basis was first proposed by Dudley Preston, a leading archer in Western Australia.
After an enforced interruption due to the Second World War, his proposal came to fruition at a conference of State delegates held in Sydney on 17-18 January, 1948. After the normal preliminaries, the first major item on the agenda was the motion that:
"The Archery Association of Australia be and is hereby formed."
This motion was carried and therefore has to be regarded as the official date of birth of the Association. The meeting went on to consider matters of national and international associations and competitions, including a resolution to affiliate with FITA the interantaiona archery federation.
The first Annual General Meeting of the Association was held in Sydney on the same weekend as the first National Championships - 3,4,5 October 1948." more
