In this paper, kumaraswamy reciprocal family of distributions is introduced as a new continues model with some of approximation to other probabilistic models as reciprocal, beta, uniform, power function, exponential, negative exponential, weibull, rayleigh and pareto distribution. Some fundamental distributional properties, force of mortality, mills ratio, bowley skewness, moors kurtosis, reversed hazard function, integrated hazard function, mean residual life, probability weighted moments, bonferroni and lorenz curves, laplace-stieltjes transform of this new distribution with the maximum likelihood method of the parameter estimation are studied. Finally, four real data sets originally presented are used to illustrate the proposed estimators.
