Background
A five-a-side youth football tournament was held at the inaugural games in 1985 held in Douglas, Isle of Man but football was completely absent from the programme at the 1987 Island Games held in Guernsey. The first men's football tournament was held at the 1989 Island Games in the Faroe Islands. The Faroe Islands won the first two editions undefeated but have not competed since their win at the 1991 Island Games in Åland. Jersey were the defending champions after defeating hosts Ynys Môn 1–0 in the gold medal match as hosts at the 1997 Island Games.[1]

Format
A total of 14 teams took part in the competition. They were drawn into four single round robin groups – two of four teams and two of three teams. The winning team from each group would contest the semi-finals which would decide the teams contesting the gold and bronze medal matches. Play-off placement matches were held for the teams finishing second, third and fourth in each group – the runners-up would contest the fifth to eighth semi-finals, the third-placed teams contested the ninth to 12th semi-finals and the fourth-placed teams contested the 13th-place match.[2]
