Interbull is managed by an ICAR appointed Steering Committee, consisting of 9 members from different countries. The objectives for the Steering Committee are to set strategy, priorities, work plans and budget for Interbull.

Since 2003 the Steering Committee has been supported by the Interbull Technical Committee (ITC).

The objective of the ITC is to identify and review technical issues that are essential for providing a high quality service to countries participating in the international genetic evaluations.

Interbull Business Meetings are held regularly (once per year) with the purpose to report on the activities of the Interbull Centre, present decisions of the Steering Committee, including budget, and to provide customers with a forum for discussion of Interbull services, present and desired. Conclusions and recommendations of the Interbull Business Meeting are brought to the Steering Committee for decision.

The Interbull Centre is the operational unit of Interbull.
