Tuvalu at the Pacific Games

Tuvalu participates in the Pacific Games (formerly known as the South Pacific Games), which is a multi-sport event, with participation exclusively from countries around the South Pacific. It is held every four years. Telupe Iosefa received the first ever gold medal won by Tuvalu at the 2015 Pacific Games in the powerlifting 120 kg male division.

Tuvalu also participates in the Pacific Mini Games (previously the South Pacific Mini Games), which is a scaled-down version of the main Pacific Games that enable smaller nations to host events and compete against each other and which is similarly rotated on a four-year basis in the intervening years between the main games.

A combined Gilbert and Ellice Islands team participated at the 1963,1966, and 1971 South Pacific Games. An athlete from Tuvalu (then Ellice Islands), namely Nelu Arenga, is at least documented for 1971.

Athletes from Tuvalu attended the 2003 South Pacific Games for the first time.

Logona Esau was the first athlete from Tuvalu to win a medal at an international competition, when he took bronze at the 2005 South Pacific Mini Games in Koror, Palau.

Tuvalu competed at the 2007 Pacific Games in Apia, Samoa. Tuvalu was ranked 18th equal at the Games, with 2 medals (0 gold - 1 silver - 1 bronze).
