To determine which irrational number can be added to \(\pi\) to result in a rational sum, we need to analyze the effects of adding each of the provided options:

1. **\(\frac{1}{\pi}\)**: This number is also irrational. The sum \(\pi + \frac{1}{\pi}\) would still be irrational.

2. **\(-\frac{1}{\pi}\)**: This number is irrational as well. The sum \(\pi - \frac{1}{\pi}\) remains irrational.

3. **\(-\pi\)**: This is also irrational. The sum \(\pi - \pi\) equals \(0\), which is rational.

4. **\(\pi\)**: Adding \(\pi\) to \(\pi\) gives \(2\pi\), which is still irrational.

Out of these options, the only one that can be added to \(\pi\) to yield a rational number is \(-\pi\).

Therefore, the answer is: **\(-\pi\)**.
