The International Island Games Association's (IGA) role is to organise the Island Games, which is held every two years where the members came to compete in a friendly competition in various sports. The IGA liaises with the member island associations and with sponsors of the games. It investigates whether islands wanting to join fit the membership criteria. Any further addition since Menorca joined in 2005 will now require changes to the constitution.
