Sport is at the very heart of our city. The success of both Liverpool and Everton football teams have made the name of 'Liverpool' famous around the world, while The Grand National is the world's most-watched sporting event, with an audience of 600 million every year. The Open Golf Championship – one of the worlds greatest golfing events returns to the Royal Birkdale in 2008.

Just look a little deeper and you’ll find a massive range of sports on offer throughout the city and the region: rugby league continues to rise in popularity, led by St Helens Saints and Widnes Warriors, while the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament attracts some of the world's top tennis talents, both past and present, such as Goran Ivanisevic, Bjorn Borg, Pat Cash and Xavier Malisse. This May saw the first Liverpool 08 Squash Tournament at St George's Hall, and the event is expected to grow to form a major event in the world squash calendar.

The world Powerboating Grand Prix was hosted here last summer, as part of the build-up to our Capital of Culture celebrations, while a host of watersports, including windsurfing, sailing, jetskiing and canoeing are available around our coastline.
