Triathlon at the Pacific Games was first contested at the 1995 games at Papeete. It has also been included in the Pacific Mini Games, firstly at Norfolk Island in 2001. The Sprint format (half the Olympic distance) has been used for triathlons at the Pacific Games since 2011. Prior to that, the standard course Olympic distance was raced. The Aquathon, with swim and run legs only, has also been contested.
