Sport in the Falkland Islands

Sport in the Falkland Islands is restricted by the islands' low, and generally scattered, population. Nonetheless, it has been able to send teams to the Commonwealth Games, and the Island Games.

The islands have produced one sportsman of note, Louis Baillon, who competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics in the field hockey team.

Race meetings are held from time to time, especially as many islanders still own horses.

Because of the large British military presence, many games involve their teams.
