N.B. In 2019 football was controversially not officially part of the Island Games due to the hosts Gibraltar not having enough pitches. A replacement competition, the ten team 2019 Inter Games Football Tournament, was held in Anglesey, where Orkney finished 8th. They played four matches, winning one and losing three, with an overall goal record of four scored and eleven conceded.
