The Antigua and Barbuda National Olympic Committee (ABNOC) is pleased to announce its 18 -athlete roster for the centennial XXV Central American and Caribbean Games, to be held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from 24 July to 8 August 2026.

The 2026 Games mark 100 years of regional competition (1926–2026) and are expected to bring together over 6,000 athletes from around 40 countries. Despite the scheduling overlap with the 2026 Commonwealth Games, Antigua and Barbuda will field a full team across six sports. This presents a logistical challenge for the ABNOC secretariat, as athletes and staff will need to meet multiple protocols and administrative requirements. Notably, the athletics contingent will compete first at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow before traveling to Santo Domingo for the CAC Games.
