The inverse Weibull distribution can be readily applied to a wide range of situations including applications in medicine, reliability and ecology. In this article we introduce a new model of generalized inverse Weibull distribution referred to as the Exponentiated generalized inverse distribution. We provide a comprehensive mathematical treatment of this distribution. We derive the moment generating function and the rth moment thus generalizing some results in the literature. Expressions for the density, moment generating function and rth moment of the order statistics also are obtained. We discuss estimation of the parameters by maximum likelihood and provide the information matrix
