What is the Island Games?

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 the Faroe Islands in 2027.

THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Further details will be shared soon.

It is important for the Isle of Man Athletics Association (“IOM Athletics”) to have successful individual performances at the Island Games as we recognise the importance of the event in the development and experience of our athletes towards future success at the Commonwealth Games and beyond.

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.
