The misleadingly titled Welsh Canoeing Association (WCA) is the governing body for canoeing and kayaking in Wales. It covers all branches of the sport from recreational activities to whitewater racing, slalom racing and wildwater racing; flatwater sprint racing and marathon racing; canoe sailing; canoe polo; surf kayaking and canoeing; and extreme racing. It's headquarters are at Canolfan Tryweryn, the national white water centre. The WCA has over 1800 individual members and a further 2000 members through affiliated clubs and centres. Members of the WCA are also by default members of the British Canoe Union.

The WCA is also a supporter of the Rivers Access Campaign, and has been seeking government approved access agreements for rivers with land owners for over 50 years.
