The 1975 South Pacific Games, held in Guam from 1 to 10 August 1975, was the fifth edition of the South Pacific Games.[2] A total of 1,205 athletes (907 men and 298 women) participated in a rain-affected games which had only one clear day out of the ten scheduled.[3]

The hosting of the event, originally planned for 1974,[4] had met trouble from the start. Carlos Camacho, the Governor of Guam, had been opposed to spending any government money on the games.[1] The impasse was broken in late 1973 and the games were rescheduled for 1975.[2] However, preparations for the events did not progress smoothly,[5] and visiting teams were disappointed with the condition of some of the venues and the scheduling in the middle of the rainy season.[1][2] The games went ahead despite the logistical problems. Sixteen South Pacific Games records were broken in the track and field athletics events alone.[6]

Guam's basketball gold medal win by the men's team captained by Tony Susuico was the highlight of the Games for the hosting country.[7]
