What does Antigua News Room cover?

Franchise cricket. The first page of results of a search of the site for “Falcons” on 26 September 2026 listed items dated from 23 August to 24 September 2026, among them match reports on the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons against the Knight Riders, the Tridents, the Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Jamaica Kingsmen, a report of a match abandoned for rain, and an item on a Flow partnership with the franchise.^[5] Its report of 21 September 2026, datelined Bridgetown, opens: “The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons are Caribbean Premier League champions for the first time after completing a commanding eight-wicket victory over the Jamaica Kingsmen in the 2026 final at Kensington Oval.” It gives the scores as 170 for nine and 173 for two in 16.4 overs.^[4]

Government sport. It published, as a release dated 2 March 2026, the Ministry of Education, Sports and Creative Industries' account of the 33rd National Sports Awards, naming the senior sportsman and sportswoman of the year and the associations honoured.^[6] On 10 April 2026 it reported that the Cabinet had approved the establishment of a Cricket West Indies campus in Antigua and Barbuda, with major components it said were scheduled for completion between 2026 and 2030, subject to funding and partnership arrangements.^[7]

The sports category. The site's own sports category is sparse: its first page, as retrieved, runs from 5 July 2021 to 21 September 2025, and its most recent item is a consumer piece on pickleball shoes; most of its 2026 cricket reports are not filed there.^[3][5]

How large is Antigua News Room's audience?

No audited web measurement, readership survey or audience currency covering Antigua and Barbuda was found, and the site's own pages that were read publish no traffic or reach figure.^[1][2] No audience figure is given here.

Output is what can be reported: the first page of its search results for the Falcons alone ran from 23 August to 24 September 2026, a period of about a month.^[5] That describes output, not readers.

Since when has Antigua News Room existed?

The site's own pages that were read give no founding date.^[2] The oldest item on the first page of its sports category, as retrieved on 26 September 2026, is dated 5 July 2021, a report on a West Indies Women T20 International series; the next, of 6 July 2021, reported that two swimmers would represent Antigua and Barbuda at the Tokyo Olympics. That is the earliest date seen, not a founding date.^[3]

Why does Antigua News Room matter in Antigua and Barbuda's sport?

In the 2026 Caribbean Premier League it reported the island franchise's campaign item by item, through to the first title, and reported the final with both teams' scores.^[5][4] It also carries government sport releases in full, such as the National Sports Awards release of the ministry responsible for sport.^[6]

No press-freedom or media-ownership monitoring body was found to publish a country entry for Antigua and Barbuda that names the site.
