The IAU and IUGG has jointly established in 1988 an International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) which is in charge of the realization of conventional celestial and terrestrial reference systems, together with the determination of earth orientation parameters which connect them.

The theoretical definition of the terrestrial reference system which is realized by IERS through a conventional terrestrial reference frame formed by SLR, LLR, VLBI and GPS stations is presented. In particular its origin, scale, orientation and evolution with time are reviewed, taking into account relativistic and deformation effects.
