The 10th South Pacific Games (French: 10e Jeux du Pacifique sud; Tahitian: A 10 o te Ha‘utira‘a no Pātifita), also known as Papeete 1995 (Tahitian: Papeʻete 1995), held in Papeete, French Polynesia from 25 August to 5 September 1995, was the tenth edition of the South Pacific Games.[1][2]
The 1995 games were affected by the decision by France to resume nuclear testing at Mururoa in French Polynesia later that year. Western Samoa, American Samoa, Nauru and Niue boycotted in protest.[1][3]
