Leeward Islands Tournament
Of the early tournaments only the winners are known; for the recent ones, the structure is largely unknown. It is also not known whether tournaments were staged in the missing years, though this is likely.
It is not always clear whether teams represent single islands or states (e.g. Saint Kitts/Nevis or Saint Christopher, Antigua/Barbuda or Antigua, etc.).
A new edition was to be played in August 2014 with 8 teams;[1] originally slated for August 9–17, it was postponed to a tentative date later in the year.[2]
