Sport in British Columbia

There are four major sports in British Columbia which are the most popular and which have high-level, fully professional competitions: association football, rugby union, hockey (ice), and baseball; football is the only one which has a fully professionalised women's league, in addition to the men's league; semi-professional women's competitions exist also for hockey (since 1983) and baseball (since 1985).

In addition to the national leagues, the Vancouver Orca hockey club play in the North American National Hockey League since 1992.
