The 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games, officially known as the IV Commonwealth Youth Games, and commonly known as Isle Of Man 2011, is a multi-sport event which took place from 7 to 13 September 2011 in the British Crown Dependency of the Isle of Man. As per the original quadrennial cycle, the Games were scheduled for 2012. However, the Commonwealth Games Federation at its general assembly in 2005 decided to move the Games within one year before the Summer Olympics.[3] The Bowl Stadium at the National Sports Centre, Douglas staged the opening ceremony on 7 September 2011. The closing ceremony was held on Douglas Promenade & the Villa Marina on 13 September.[4]

In October 2008 the organising committee released a provisional events programme. All events were held between September 9 and 11, 2011[6]

Both Norfolk Island and Vanuatu withdrew from the competition, as both Norfolk Island competitors were injured, and the latter cited other sporting commitments,[8] followed by Lesotho and Montserrat for similar reasons.[9] Ghana, Nigeria and Tuvalu were scheduled to compete at the Games, however they did not appear on the start lists.[1]
