The US-IUSF is an acronym for the United States International University Sports Federation, which is the official representative and governing body for the United States in all FISU events, such as the World University Games and the World University Championships. In 1967, the United States Collegiate Sports Council (USCSC) officially presented its credentials to the General Assembly of the International University Sports Federation (FISU) at the Tokyo World University Games. They were subsequently accepted by the FISU General Assembly and became the governing body for the United States in all FISU events.  In 2005 the USCSC officially changed its name to the United States International University Sports Federation (US-IUSF).
