ECSA is an international organisation established in 1992. It currently has 25 members and the Association is chaired by  the Czech Republic

Our aim is to strengthen ties between European customs administrations by encouraging and organizing joint sporting activities. We promote sport and cultural cooperation as well as mutual understanding between customs officials. In addition, joint participation in sport fosters greater team spirit and contributes to a positive public profile for customs. Most ECSA member states not only send customs officials to international competitions, but also host sporting events. Revenues are used to provide minimum financial support for member administrations organizing international sport events in their countries.

Each year, representatives of the Member States gather for an Annual General Meeting, organized by a different customs administration.

For outstanding contribution, ECSA can reward a special medal "The Medal of Honour"
