The Hawaiʻi Sports Hall of Fame is a sports hall of fame and museum in the U.S. state of Hawaiʻi. According to the hall's official website, it serves as the "state museum for sports history in the islands," and "is best described as an educational repository created to enshrine athletes, pioneers and contributors of Hawaiʻi's rich sports history."[1][2] The organization was founded in 1997 and a selection committee meets once a year in December.[3] The flagship exhibition for the hall is located in the Bishop Museum in Honolulu.

The 2016 class, inducted in May 2016, included water polo player Brandon Brooks, decathlete Bryan Clay, soccer player Brian Ching, and brothers Maʻake Kemoeatu and Chris Kemoeatu for American football.[4][5]
