Tuvalu Games

The Tuvalu Games is a multi-sport event, much like the Pacific Games (although on a much smaller scale), with participation exclusively from islands around Tuvalu.[1]

History

The Games began in 2008, hosted in the capital, Funafuti.

All 8 islands can participate and compete between each island in events such as track and field events, football, badminton and other games.[2]

In 2011 the Tuvalu Games were held in Funafuti from 26th to 30 April. Nukufetau won the most medals.[3]
