It was made up of worldwide members and a community of volunteers including an advisory board, specialist committees and networks.

The first CP World Games were held by the International CP Society (ICPS) in 1972. CPISRA became independent from the ICPS in 1978 and since then has held regular regional and world championships. In 2018, Sant Cugat in Spain hosted the CPISRA World Games and welcomed 600 participants from 30 countries for the broadest schedule to date, showcasing World Class competition in elite para-sport, as well as development sport camps and competitions.

This transpired to be the last CPISRA World Games before the merger and creation of World Abilitysport and the introduction of World Abilitysport Games in 2023.
