Cricket – Jersey cricket has seen a sharp increase in both participation and success in recent years, with the Island side competing as far afield as Malaysia and Singapore in the ICC World Cricket League and over 30 clubs contesting the local evening, weekend and indoor leagues. There are also two women’s teams. Jersey — the 33rd ‘country’ to be granted associate membership of the ICC — has a superb development scheme, led by fully qualified coaches, and there are also community programmes that promote the sport in Island schools.
Golf – With the likes of former Ryder Cup player Ted Ray and six-time British Open winner Harry Vardon being born in the Island, there is no denying that Jersey is accustomed to producing players of the highest calibre, particularly if you add resident Tommy Horton — an outstanding golfer on the European and Seniors Tour — to the list. With three exceptional 18-hole courses and a further three 9-hole courses spread across the Island, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved and enjoy the stunning scenery that Jersey has to offer.

The Island’s representative sides — governed by the Jersey Football Association — play competitive matches against Channel Island rivals Guernsey each year, with the highlight being the senior Murattis, which take place in May. They also enter English cup competitions and occasionally welcome visiting UK teams to the Island for friendly matches.
The Jersey Tennis Association acts as the governing body for the sport of tennis within Jersey and to promote, improve, develop and support the interests of tennis in Jersey.

Archery – There are two clubs in Jersey under the branch of the Archery Association of Jersey, which means that archers can be selected for prestigious events such as the island games and commonwealth games to represent the island.
