The Philippines Lacrosse Association (PLA) is the governing body of lacrosse in the Philippines and is an associate member of the Federation of International Lacrosse.

Lacrosse was officially introduced in the Philippines in September 2013, when the PLA outreach director Justin Manjares and President Ron Garcia met with Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and the Philippine Sports Commission (PSA) regarding the lacrosse body's agenda and talked about promoting the sport with the guidance of the POC and PSC.[1]

The Philippines Lacrosse Association became the 50th member of the Federation of International Lacrosse as voted on February 17, 2014.[2]
