The College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) is back in Casper this June 15-21, bringing the nation’s top collegiate rodeo athletes to the Ford Wyoming Center for a week of thrilling competition. This prestigious event is where champions are made, as the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) crowns individual and team champions in events like saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing, breakaway roping, and goat tying.

Nowhere else can you witness the best college rodeo athletes and top-tier livestock go head-to-head in the dirt, competing for the ultimate championship titles. More than just a rodeo, CNFR is an experience—one that stays with you long after the final ride.
