Orkney Island Games 2025

The Island Games, a biennial event organised by the International Island Games Association (IIGA). A huge celebration of sports and culture, bringing many island territories to one place and competing in a range of sports from cycling to archery.

The games date back to 1985 and were held on the Isle of Man. All island members represent non-sovereign territories with sporting teams representing places such as Shetland, Ynys Mon, Saint Helena and as far as the Falkland Islands. The event runs for one week, with around 14 different sports being competed in, although the inaugural edition consisted of just seven sports.
