After a short introduction on the definition and the construction of a reference frame, the presentation concentrates on the actual construction of the new IAU conventional reference frame. The 1991 IAU resolutions on reference systems is reviewed and the present state of the implementation of these resolutions is discussed. The IERS extragalactic reference frame is described and we show that it fulfills the IAU requirements. The Hipparcos catalogue will be linked to this frame before the end of this year. The state of advancement of this job is presented.
