As the international governing body for lacrosse, World Lacrosse is responsible for the rules of men’s and women’s field, box and Sixes lacrosse. Additionally, World Lacrosse endorses rules developed for wheelchair and mixed lacrosse.
The rules for each of the disciplines are overseen by individual Rules Subcommittees, with the World Lacrosse Rules Committee chair having oversight of the change process. Member nations are invited to propose rule changes for consideration.
