Since the inaugural Canada Games in 1967, Team Newfoundland and Labrador’s most successful Games were the 2005 Canada Summer Games in Regina, where they won nine medals, and the 1999 Canada Winter Games, where as the host province, they won 19 medals in Corner Brook.
Team NL has won the Centennial Cup (awarded to the Province/Territory with the greatest improvement from the preceding, same season Games) once, in 1977 at the Canada Summer Games in St. John’s, NL.
Team NL has won the Claude Hardy Award (recognizing the talent and dedication of a Provincial/Territorial Mission Team) twice, in back-to-back Games in 2017 and 2019. Additionally, Newfoundland and Labrador have been awarded the Jack Pelech Award three times, in 1987 (shared with Team Nova Scotia), 1995 and 1999. The award is given to the Province/Territory that best combines competitive performance, good sportsmanship and a spirit of fair play, cooperation, and friendship.
Participants from Newfoundland and Labrador can be seen at the Games in maroon, white and grey uniforms.
