The 2011 Pacific Games (officially known as NC 2011) took place in Nouméa, New Caledonia, from August 27 to September 10, 2011. Nouméa was the 14th host of the Pacific Games.^[1] Upon closure of the registration for entries, "some 4,300 athletes" had registered from the twenty-two competing nations, although it was expected that not all would attend.^[2]

Sporting events

As of August 2009, 30 sports have been proposed for the 2011 Games, but a maximum of 28 were contested.

The remaining (up to) 16 sports came from these sports: archery, badminton, baseball, body building, boxing, cricket, cycling, (team) handball, judo, karate, power lifting, sailing, shooting, squash, surfing, taekwondo, and triathlon.^[3]

Cricket - all matches were deemed by the International Cricket Council as "Official Internationals" meaning that participating countries had the opportunity to move up into a higher ICC membership category ^[4]

Football - the men's event was supposed to be the first stage qualification for the FIFA 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the women's event was supposed to be the first stage qualification for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. However, in June 2011 the format was amended, and the Pacific Games were no longer part of the qualification process.

Tennis - the Oceania Tennis Federation used the Pacific Games as an official selection event for the Pacific Oceania Davis Cup (Men) and Federation Cup (Women) teams ^[4]
