The East Asian Youth Games (EAYG) is a continental multi-sport event organised by the East Asian Olympic Committee (EAOC) and held every four years since 2023 among athletes from East Asian countries and territories of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), as well as the Pacific island of Guam, which is a member of the Oceania National Olympic Committees.

The East Asian Youth Games is currently the only Games held by the East Asian Olympic Committee without a special edition for disabilities (Para Games).

History

2017 East Asian Games (canceled)

The 2017 East Asian Games was scheduled to take place in Fukuoka, Japan, but was later scrapped and was scheduled to make a new event in 2019. (It was supposed to be the 2019 East Asian Youth Games, in Taichung, Taiwan) before it was canceled.

2019 East Asian Youth Games (canceled)

On July 24, 2018, the East Asian Olympic Committee (EAOC) held an impromptu meeting at the request of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to revoke the hosting rights of Taichung in Taiwan, citing recent referendum movement in Taiwan to change its name from "Chinese Taipei" to "Taiwan" for 2020 Summer Olympics. The vote against Taiwan passed 6 against 1 with PRC, Hong Kong, Macau, Mongolia, North Korea and South Korea in favor, while Taiwan was against the vote, and Japan abstaining. The move by PRC is considered as politically motivated and is part of the PRC government's aggressive schemes to diminish the presence of Taiwan on the international arena.
