American Go Association

The American Go Association (AGA) is a national not-for-profit volunteer organization, with members and chapters around the country.  The AGA is a member of the International Go Federation, and works closely with sister organizations around the world.  The American Go Association was founded in 1934 and incorporated in the early 1990s.  Our mission is “to foster knowledge and appreciation of the game and art of ‘Go’ (also called ‘wei chi’, ‘baduk’, and ‘igo’) in the United States of America through publicizing the game; to encourage and assist in game activities and education; to promote tournaments, seminars, professional tours, congresses, and improvement of individual game skills throughout the nation; and to encourage intercultural and international goodwill through related activities.”
