The aim of this article is to present the use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) as a support tool for cartographical mapping related to the Orienteering Sport, as a contribution for the enhancement of the currently used techniques, which result will be spread between the members of the Quadro de Mapeadores da CBO (Brazilian Federation of Orienteering), which gathers the main cartographers of the sport in Brazil and regulates the main aspects related to the production of maps for Orienteering. Therefore, the Campus of UFMS (Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul) was mapped, according to the ISSOM 2007 (International Specification for Sprint Orienteering Maps), on the scale of 1:4.000 using orthophotographs with ground sample distance of 10 cm and vectorial files (contour lines with equidistance of 1 metre and urban zoning) of Campo Grande city distributed freely by Prefeitura Municipal de Campo Grande as data source for the base map. The data was processed using the software QGIS (QGIS Development Team 2016), a free and open source Geographical Information System (GIS), and the Original Computer File was developed using OCAD software, an specific program for Orienteering maps, being validated by its utilisation on the final stage of the II Campeonato Sul-Mato-Grossense de Orientação (2nd Orienteering Championship of Mato Grosso do Sul). To ratify, in official ways, the obedience to the international specifications, it was sent to the evaluation of the Quadro de Mapeadores da CBO (the official cartographers group of CBO) and, as a result, it was approved and included in the data base of the confederation, under the register number 232.
