Criado em 1996, o Comité Internacional dos Jogos Náuticos Intercélticos é uma associação que reúne representantes das diferentes regiões integrantes.

Cada ano, durante uma assembleia geral, os membros do Comité Internacional dos Jogos Náuticos Intercélticos escolhem o país ou a região que acolherá os Jogos Náuticos; elaboram os regulamentos e as regras da competição, decidem as acções para promover os Jogos Náuticos Intercélticos e do Espaço Atlântico e este ano decorrem em Devon (Inglaterra) de 23 a 28 Julho 2011.

----------

We have a possible new International event in North Devon, England, 25/26/27 July. These Games run every year somewhere along the Atlantic coast Europe.
http://www.jniea.org/EN/ for details, and you can see "Previous Editions".

We hope to have Kayak Surf, but they are apprehensive we may not attract enough regions / competitors, and would like us to demonstrate the interest. From this year, the Games are only for youth - U18 or U21. We would be allowed 4 medal categories.

Officially, the Regions are shown on the list and map attached. However, at a recent meeting, it seems it may be possible to invite other regions to the Games. It also seems to be ok to compete for a region in which you are living, even if you come from elsewhere. Note we also have an England ranking event on the following weekend 30 July, in the same North Devon area, to which people are welcome.
