Sports Quiz Questions and Answers

Football gets its own page. This one is for everything else: cricket and rugby, tennis and snooker, rowing, darts, athletics and the sports that only get a mention once a year.

Every sports question we've set on Astuto lives here, with the answer and the story behind it. We like questions about where sports began, the traditions that survived, and the facts that sound made up but aren't. You don't need to remember last season's results. You do need to know your history.

Each question has four options and one right answer, with a short explanation and a source. Have a go before you reveal it.

New sports questions arrive every week as part of our question of the day. If you're the person who knows how a game started as well as how it's played, you'll enjoy this.
