Sixteen sports have been confirmed for the Outgames, and two more are currently being investigated for inclusion: triathlon and soccer. 

As well as the competitions you can participate in - and win medals for - we are planning some carefully selected demonstration sports so you can try something new.  Come play with us!

The best venues in Wellingtion have been booked for the sports. For swimming, for example, that is the Regional Aquatic Centre, and for tennis, the Renouf Centre. Both facilities have previously hosted international competitions.

Sports have been selected on the basis of their appeal in the community (swimming, running and ten pin bowling are popular at international GLBT competitions), but many also have strong spectator appeal - dancesport, tennis and diving in particular.
