Netherlands Lesser Antilles competed in the Winter Olympics of 1988, notably finishing 29th in the bobsled, ahead of Jamaica who famously competed but finished 30th.

Baseball is by far the most popular sport. Several players have made it to the Major Leagues, such as [[Xander Bogaerts]], [[Andrelton Simmons]], [[Hensley Meulens]], [[Randall Simon]], [[Andruw Jones]], [[Kenley Jansen]], [[Jair Jurrjens]], [[Roger Bernadina]], [[Sidney Ponson]], [[Didi Gregorius]], [[Shairon Martis]], [[Wladimir Balentien]], and [[Yurendell DeCaster]]. Xander Bogaerts won two World Series with the Boston Red Sox, in 2013 and 2018.  Andruw Jones played for the Atlanta Braves in the 1996 World Series hitting two home runs in his first game against the New York Yankees.

Three athletes from the former Netherlands Antilles competed in the [[2012 Summer Olympics]]. They, alongside one athlete from [[South Sudan]], competed under the banner of [[Independent Olympic Athletes at the 2012 Summer Olympics|Independent Olympic Athletes]].

The Netherlands Antilles, though a non-existing entity since 2010, are allowed to field teams at the [[Chess Olympiad]] under this name, because the Curaçao Chess Federation remains officially registered as representing the dissolved country in the [[Fédération Internationale des Échecs|FIDE]] Directory.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ratings.fide.com/fide_directory.phtml?country=AHO&list=778 |title=FIDE Directory – Netherlands Antilles |publisher=FIDE |access-date=10 October 2018 |archive-date=14 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201014100300/https://ratings.fide.com/fide_directory.phtml?country=AHO&list=778 |url-status=live }}</ref>
