The ‘Inter-Island’ Games were born in the Isle of Man in 1985, with the intention of bringing together a number of small islands from different parts of the world in friendly competition.
The number of Islands participating has grown substantially, and now 24 Islands are members of the International Island Games Association. The next Island Games takes place in Orkney in 2025.
Everything you need to know to compete for the Isle of Man at the 2025 Orkney Island Games.
The selection policy has been created to nominate a team to achieve the best possible results (that is the highest number of medals) at the 2025 Island Games and with medal totals at future Island Games in mind. IOM Athletics is devoted to selecting the strongest possible teams for Island Games.
