Guernsey Island Games 2023

Save the date! The NatWest International Island Games will take place in Guernsey 8-14 July 2023.

Once every two years, athletes from 24 member islands come together to compete in a range of sports, from sailing and triathlons to archery and athletics in the NatWest International Island Games. The host Island can choose between 12 and 14 sports from a list of 18. To compete in the Games, you must have been born in a member Island or have lived on the the Island for 12 months prior to the Games.

This year it’s Guernsey's turn to host for the first time in 20 years! We're delighted to be the first member Island to host the Games three times and look forward to welcoming everyone.

We’ll be welcoming thousands of athletes, coaches (and mascots ) to our Islands, so if you'd like to visit when it’s a bit more relaxed, less crowded and with fewer cheering fans, we recommend travelling over before or after the Games in July.
