The International Virtual Reality League was formed in 2021 by a group of veteran league players that wanted to provide the highest level of competition and create an environment for players to enjoy the games they love. The primary drive of the org is to focus on the community, integerity, and transparency as much as possible. These core principles drive the decisions of the league and help to draw its players into the IVRL family.

Onward was the premier league in 2021 and will continue to be a big focus for IVRL. Vail VR, another VR shooter, was hosted by IVRL for its beta launch tournament with IVRL managing the details. More games may be added over time as the needs arise, but growth will be steady to maintain top quality in the established leagues.

There can be up to 8 players rostered per team!
