The Inter-Guiana Games is an event between Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana that began in 1967. The Games usually involve competition in basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, chess, athletics, swimming, and table tennis.
The games which were last held in 2014, will see participation from Guyana and Suriname, as French Guiana will be unable to field a team due to financial constrain.
