国际期货行业协会成立于1955年，在纽约作为商品交易公司协会。它最初是为了提供一个讨论问题、与交易所合作、代表公众客户、研究降低成本的方法、消除滥用信贷、合作开展教育工作以及保护公司免受欺诈性仓单的侵害的论坛。

FIA was founded in 1955 in New York as the Association of Commodity Exchange Firms. It was originally established to provide a forum to discuss issues, work with exchanges, represent the public customer, study ways to reduce costs, eliminate the abuse of credit, cooperate on education efforts and protect firms from fraudulent warehouse receipts.

1973年，纽约大宗商品协会扩大到包括芝加哥期货交易所。1978年，该公司更名为期货业协会，并迁至华盛顿。国际汽联在20世纪80年代中期再次扩大了其影响力，当时国际组织应邀加入。
In 1973, the New York association expanded to include Chicago FCMs. In 1978 it was renamed the Futures Industry Association and moved to Washington. FIA broadened its reach again in the mid-1980s when international organizations were invited to become members.
