The 1985 South Pacific Mini Games were held at Rarotonga in the Cook Islands from 31 July to 9 August 1985. It was the second edition of the South Pacific Mini Games.[2]
The new stadium built for the games had a grass track but several South Pacific Games athletics records were broken at the 1985 games including the women's 800 metres.[2] The track and field competition also served as a selection trial for the Oceania team to compete at the IAAF World Cup in Canberra.[3]
Sixteen Pacific nations participated in the Games:[2]
