The Royal Pigeon Racing Association (RPRA) is the premier organization for pigeon racing in the UK. With a rich history dating back to 1896, the RPRA has been dedicated to promoting and preserving the sport of pigeon racing. Originally known as the National Homing Union, the association earned its Royal title due to its close affinity with the Royal family.

The RPRA offers a wide range of services and resources to its members. They provide race results, race programmes, and a shop where members can purchase all the necessary equipment for pigeon racing. They also have a dedicated section for junior members, offering tips and guidance for young fanciers.

In addition to its central role in facilitating pigeon racing, the RPRA has a strong connection to the Royal family. The Royal Lofts at Sandringham, under the supervision of a loft manager, have seen numerous successful racing performances throughout the years. With over 30 employees and an annual turnover of over £1.

2 million, the RPRA continues to thrive as a business. Their annual BHW Show of the Year in Blackpool is a highlight for many fanciers, drawing participants from across the globe. The RPRA looks forward to the future, confident that the sport of pigeon racing will continue to flourish in the next century
