Sport in Cornwall includes two sports not found elsewhere in the world, except in areas influenced by Cornish culture i.e. the Cornish forms of wrestling and hurling. The sports otherwise most closely associated with Cornwall are rugby union football and surfing. Planning and politics Infrastructure and facilities Currently the major hurdle for Cornish sports is the lack of infrastructure and facilities compared to other areas of the UK.
