The XVI Island Games (also known as the 2015 NatWest Island Games for sponsorship reasons) were held in Jersey, Channel Islands, from 27 June to 3 July 2015.[1] This was the second time the island hosted the games, the first being in 1997.
The week-long event saw around 3,000 competitors from 24 islands[2] take part in 14 sports.[3] The official mascot of the games was a real-life infant silverback gorilla named Indigo who lives at Durrell Wildlife Park in Trinity, Jersey.[4]
