The NFR Open is an annual championship rodeo event of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) held annually in the United States. The event was previously known as the National Circuit Finals Rodeo (NCFR) from 1987 through 2021 before being renamed as the NFR Open in 2022. Qualification for the event comes via winning the season title or winning the average title at the regional circuit finals rodeos in bareback riding steer wrestling team roping saddle bronc riding tie-down roping barrel racing breakaway roping or bull riding. To qualify a competitor must compete in one of the 12 PRCA U.S. regional circuits; Montana Mountain States Wilderness Columbia River California Turquoise Texas Prairie Badlands Great Lakes Southeast and First Frontier.
At the NFR Open competitors go through two longer performances to compete for eight spots for the semi-finals. The semis and the finals are in sudden death format. The top four times and scores will advance to the one go-round final. Whoever has the top score or time in the finals is crowned the PRCA U.S. National Champion for the year. Each different circuit also competes at the NFR Open as a team and the best performing circuit wins the PRCA National Circuit Team Championship.
