League
We bring together axe-throwing enthusiasts in Poland by creating the country’s only official IATF axe-throwing league under Axe Nation®.
The Origins of Axe Throwing as a Sport in Poland
Since 2016, we have been organizing the first and largest Axe Throwing League in Poland, officially operating under the patronage of the IATF – International Axe Throwing Federation. We were the first in Europe to join this global organization, and to this day, we remain its sole member in Poland. The IATF established the sport of axe throwing, defining its rules, permissible equipment, and hosting international competitions. Since 2021, Axe Nation has been organizing the Polish Axe Throwing Championships. League participants who excel have the opportunity to represent Poland at the International Axe Throwing Championships held annually in June in Toronto. The Axe Nation® League is not just about rankings and awards. It’s a weekly adrenaline-filled gathering of players who share unmatched enthusiasm for the sport!
Do You Need to Be a Pro to Join the League?
Absolutely not! Let’s start with what the axe-throwing league is – a few words from a fellow enthusiast. Above all, the league is about fun, especially at the beginning when you’re learning this unique and exciting sport. You’ll discover how enjoyable axe throwing can be – in a friendly atmosphere, with good company, and maybe even a beer in hand. The vibe during competitions stays with you long after. We are the community that makes this place and sport what it is. Participating in the league is more than just competition – it’s a chance to meet people who share your passion, make unique connections worldwide, and attend amazing events across Europe and beyond.
You don’t need any prior experience. Even if you’ve never thrown an axe before, that’s perfectly fine! You can start with us – everyone has a chance! Who knows, there might be an undiscovered talent within you. We’ll help you develop and refine your skills – trust me!
Poland on the International Stage
The level of Axe Nation®’s league is remarkably high, even by global standards. Many of our players rank in the top 10–20% worldwide, and their standings improve each year:
- Multiple winner of the Axe Nation Kraków League – Mateusz Wrześniowski – 10%
- Axe Nation League Coordinator and Polish Axe Throwing Champion of 2021 and 2022 – Łukasz Bukowski – 15%
- The best female axe thrower in Poland, owner of Axe Nation – Karolina Pach – 20%
League Format and Sporting Events
The league year runs from the Polish Championships in late June to the next Championships in mid-June. The league is divided into four main seasons:
Rok ligowy dzielimy na główne cztery sezony:

Those who have already tried axe throwing speak best about our atmosphere. See what participants say about our events and see why everyone wants to come back.
Awesome!!! At first, you have to throw a few times to get the hang of it, but Karolina and Dominik helped us, so we got the hang of it quickly. After that, it was just great fun and friendly competition. For events like a bachelor party, I recommend getting two lanes at once. This guarantees a private room, and for more than 4 people, one lane might not be enough. !:)))
I’m writing this a little late because life’s been flying by (like an axe swung with great force), but even as the days go by, my thoughts are still back in that magical place. The beer was excellent. The service was delightful (Kacper). The atmosphere is sensational. The music is intense, rousing us to action. We were there with friends (women and men) and all of us, as one man (or Viking), let ourselves be swept away by the fun. The fun is a fantastic way to de-stress, but how far it is from passive relaxation techniques, such as obsessively squeezing a gel ball or mentally dissecting the melancholic sounds of a harp… Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
A fun activity for a group of friends—you can really swing those axes, whether the smaller ones or one big one. There are cold beers available on site, along with friendly instructors. Just a heads-up: it’s addictive :D
