Island Games

A multi-sports event organised by the International Island Games Association (IGA). There are now 23 members: Åland, Alderney, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Faroe Islands, Frøya, Gibraltar, Gotland, Greenland, Guernsey, Hitra, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Jersey, Orkney, Prince Edward Island, Rhodos, Saaremaa, Saint Helena, Sark, Shetland, Ynys Môn (Anglesey).

Not all members compete in the football tournament. The Faroe Islands participated until 1991.
