    Welcome to League Of Fire

    “…an elaborate global ranking system where points are allocated to competitors when they successfully complete challenges. Until the League of Fire was established, the community was disparate and disjointed, and there was no official ranking of competitors.”

    “…[The UK Chilli Queen’s] unbeaten record is in properly officiated chilli-eating contests and is accepted by the League of Fire – the world governing body for competitive chilli-eating.”
