===Tournaments and leagues===
Although xiangqi has its origin in Asia, there are xiangqi leagues and clubs all over the world. Each European nation generally has its own governing league; for example, in Britain, xiangqi is regulated by the United Kingdom Chinese Chess Association. Asian countries also have nationwide leagues, such as the Malaysia Chinese Chess Association.{{citation needed|date=July 2016}}

In addition, there are several international federations and tournaments. The [[Chinese Xiangqi Association]] hosts several tournaments every year, including the Yin Li and Ram Cup Tournaments.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chessvariants.org/chinfaq.html#question21 |last1=Leary |first1=Stephen |last2=Bodlaender |first2=Hans |author-link2=Hans L.
