'Vietnam Department of Physical Education and Sports'). The inaugural Games took place in 1985 in Hanoi,[1] and the most recent was held in 2022 in Quảng Ninh.
Almost every sports delegations representing provinces, cities, ministries, and sectors that have participated in the Games throughout history have won at least one medal in every edition, except for four delegations: Hà Tuyên, Nam Hà, Nghĩa Bình và Thuận Hải, which have never won any medals; these were all former provinces that have now been dissolved, forming eight successor administrative units: Hà Giang and Tuyên Quang (separated from Hà Tuyên), Nam Định and Hà Nam (separated from Nam Hà), Quảng Ngãi and Bình Định (separated from Nghĩa Bình), Bình Thuận and Ninh Thuận (separated from Thuận Hải). After becoming independent, these provinces continued to send athletes to participate as separate sports delegations, and it was from this point that they began to achieve their first significant successes.
The Games have been held in 5 provinces & cities: five times in Hanoi (1985, 1990, 1995, 2002, 2018), and once each in Đà Nẵng (2010), Nam Định (now Ninh Bình) (2014), Quảng Ninh (2022), and Ho Chi Minh City (2006).
