Research Impact: Sports clubs have requested support from national governing authorities to invest in health promotion (HP), by developing policies, guidelines and dedicated funding. This article outlines the development of a national audit tool to review policy development and implementation to support HP in sports clubs. This tool has been created through a collaboration with the World Health Organisation and the contribution of 9 international researchers. To progress HP in the sports club context it is necessary to understand existing national-level policies. This national audit tool will aid in monitoring and assessing national policies for health promoting sports clubs. The tool can be found on the World Health Organisation website: https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/353076
