The XIX Island Games (also known as the 2023 NatWest Island Games for sponsorship reasons) were to have been held in Guernsey in 2021; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Games were postponed.[1][2] This occasion will be the third time that the island would host the games, the first being in 1987, and the second in 2003.
Rescheduled, the week-long event welcomed around 2,500 competitors and officials from 24 islands to take part in 14 sports.[3][4]
