- Founded 1995 -

The National Federation of Professional Bullriders (NFPB) headquarters is in Mansfield, Missouri. It was founded in 1995 by Clint Jackson and Frank Walkowe. Its focus is to promote only professional level competition.

The 2024 season marks the 29th anniversary of the NFPB, which makes it the second longest running bull riding association in the sport. The NFPB has had sanctioned events in 29 states with an average of 150 performances a year. Sanctioned events have been as far east as New York, west to Washington, north to the Canadian border and south to Texas and New Mexico.

Every year, since 1995 the NFPB has held the National Finals in the Mid-West. Since 1998, the National Finals were in St. Joseph, Missouri at the Civic Arena and in 2017 were moved to Sedalia, MO at the Mathewson Exhibition Center on the Missouri State Fairgrounds.

The NFPB takes great pride in it's athletes, events and fans.

An inherent part of the NFPB's principles is to offer professional quality events. We have a strict set of requirements, which must be met in order to be an NFPB sanctioned event. A sanctioning application must be submitted for review by the NFPB Board to get approved.
