Host city	Bambolim, Goa, India
Venue	GMC Athletic Stadium
Events	31
Participation	135 athletes from 10 nations
Records set	1 GR
← 2009 Lisbon 2021 Luanda →

The competition stood at a significantly lower level than the two previous editions. Arguably the strongest Lusophone nation, Brazil, did not send any competitors while Portugal only sent a few development athletes. Taking advantage of this situation, the host nation, India, topped the medal table. Most of their athletes were representatives of the state of Goa. São Tomé and Princípe was the only nation not to medal.
