Only three of the 13 competing territories—Nauru, Niue and Solomon Islands —failed to gain medals in the first South Pacific Games, but their contingents were among the smallest taking part.
Representation of the 13 territories was: Fiji (nine sports), Papua-New Guinea (seven). New Caledonia and American Samoa (six), French Polynesia, Tonga and Western Samoa (five). Cook Islands, Gilbert and Ellice Islands, Nauru, Niue, New Hebrides (three), and Solomons (two).
Medals won by each territory were as follows. The points score shown, which is unofficial, is worked out on the basis of three points for a gold medal, two for a silver and one for a bronze.
