Fiji Islands Sport Rugby is undoubtedly the sport of Fiji. From the beaches of the fishing villages to the town parks around the islands, Fijians of every age gather each evening as the sun sets to play touch rugby. And that's why they excel at 7's. Waisele Serevi is a household name and reputed the best 7's player ever. The national 7's team enjoyed most of the 1990's as the team to beat, winning many International tournaments around the world. But whilst the 7's team enjoys success, the national 15's team struggles in the world arena with individual brilliance being down-played by technical team cohesion. Rugby is played all year round and almost exclusively by Fijians with perhaps just a handful of Indian representatives throughout the country. Fiji also has a world championat Golf. Vijay Singh held the world number 1 spot for 27 weeks, displacing Tiger Woods in 2004 but losing it in March 2005 back to the American. There are three championship golf courses in Fiji, with another one planned for Natadola and to be designed by Vijay Singh himself, along with a youth acadamy. Football is also played widely in Fiji and the National League has 16 teams which battle each year for the title from February to November. The Western teams of Viti Levu dominate, being supported and sponsored mostly by Indian companies, although players are of both Fijian and Indian race. Netball is the sport for women and Fiji competes well against its neighbours but is usually outplayed by its Polynesian rivals, and is overshadowed by the world champions New Zealand. Indian women seldom compete in sport. Cricket is played as a social sport from December to March with lawn bowling popular in Suva and Rakiraki. Public tennis courts can be found at Nadi and Suva. A number of resorts have their own courts. There are three championship golf courses in Fiji at Denarau (west Viti Levu), Pacific Harbour (south Viti Levu and Suva (south-east Viti Levu). Other public courses include Nadi and Lautoka, both on Viti Levu. Several resorts have their own private 9-hole courses. Book your Holiday with the Specialists  Fiji Holidays & Hotels
