Sport in Brunei

Brunei is one of the weakest nations in sport terms but has greatly improved since 1999. The soccer league or B-League started in 2002 and DPMM is the most important team. In basketball, the most prominent competition is a six-date tournament, the Shell Rimula Challenge Trophy, won by Suncity Dragons in 2005. The Sultan's Cup is an invitational tournament for teams of East Asia. The Philippines club San Miguel won it in 2005.

Brunei is the host to one of the richest marathons in Asia, offering more than $500,000 in prize money. Also, Brunei hosts the Brunei Open, a part of the Asian Golf Tour. Past winners include Terry Pilkadaris.

NHL player Craig Adams was born in Seria, Brunei.

Rugby union is also played in Brunei. The national team plays in the Asian Rugby Football Union 6th Division along with Indonesia, Cambodia and Laos.
