The International Sailing Federation is the internationally recognized governing authority for sailing, officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee. It promotes sailing internationally, manages sailing at the Olympic Games, and develops the International Yacht Racing Rules and Regulations for all competitions. The organization also provides training for judges, umpires, and other officials, and works to develop the sport globally while representing sailors in governance matters. It is based in Southampton, England, and operates with a small-to-mid-sized staff.

Its activities serve national sailing bodies, sailors, and competition organizers by promoting standardized rules and fair competition. As the international authority for sailing within spectator sports, it sets governance standards and oversees Olympic sailing. Recent developments reflect ongoing sustainability efforts, including participation in the IOC Climate Action Awards and a collaboration with Oria Marine to decarbonize on-water operations.
