Foreign teams registration open

LEAPFEST is the largest, longest-running international military static line parachute competition in the world. Its purpose is to promote the camaraderie and Esprit de Corps of partner-nation Airborne Soldiers through a friendly but highly competitive event. Hosted by the Rhode Island National Guard, and held in Rhode Island, LEAPFEST is routinely attended by representatives from Allied Foreign Militaries, as well as the US Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.

LEAPFEST 2025 will be the 40th time that the event is conducted, and the competition will be held on Saturday, 2 August 2025. There will be an alternative Jump Day on Sunday the 3rd (in case of unfavorable weather on Saturday), and an International Wings Exchange ceremony on Monday the 4th of August.
