Proudly Representing the Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands Olympic Committee congratulates all athletes selected to represent the Cayman Islands at the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games and Commonwealth Games. Their selection reflects years of commitment, preparation and support from coaches, families, National Federations, medical teams, volunteers and partners across Cayman’s sporting community.

“Team Cayman will carry the pride, determination and spirit of the Cayman Islands onto the international stage.”

Competing at this level provides Caymanian athletes with valuable international experience while strengthening the pathway for future generations of athletes. The 2026 Games will offer an opportunity for Team Cayman to test themselves against high-level competition and continue building on the Cayman Islands’ sporting legacy.

The CIOC wishes every athlete, coach and support team member the very best as preparations continue for Santo Domingo and Glasgow. The entire Cayman Islands community looks forward to supporting Team Cayman as they compete with pride on the international stage.
