Central American and Caribbean Games

The CACGs are the oldest continuing regional games in the world,[http://www.cacso.org/history.php History of CACSO] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090725224511/http://www.cacso.org/history.php |date=July 25, 2009 }} from the CACSO website (www.cacso.org); retrieved 2009-06-26. and only the Olympics have run longer. Mexico, Cuba and Guatemala were the three countries present at the first games, which were then called the Central American Games. In 1935 their name was changed to Central American and Caribbean Games to reflect expanding participation.

The 1942 edition was suspended after the impact of the World War II.

A "Central American Games" does exist today, Juegos Centroamericanos, involving just Central American countries.

The first two editions of the Games were known as the "Central American Games" at the time, but the edition lineage continued after the inclusion of the Caribbean nations in 1935.{{cite web |url=http://www.primerahora.com/nuevasmarcasenmayaguez2010ynohanempezadolosjuegos-401194.html |title=Nuevas marcas en Mayagüez 2010, y no han empezado los juegos - Primerahora.com |access-date=2010-07-17 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100720031951/http://www.primerahora.com/nuevasmarcasenmayaguez2010ynohanempezadolosjuegos-401194.html |archive-date=2010-07-20 }}
