Best Answer

Many sports were invented in Great Britain. I will just name the most popular ones. First of all Football (or soccer) was invented in England by saxons. Rugby was invented in Rugby, England. Golf was invented in Scotland, and so was Curling. Also in Scotland, Shinty was invented. This is only really popular in Scotland. The Brits also invented cricket. The U.K. can also take credit for Hurling, a sport only popular in Ireland. Finally, both Scotland and England can take credit for the small, up and coming sport of Koppball.

What year was the first sport created and by who?

The oldest sport ever created is unknown, but the oldest sport ever recorded was boxing. The Epic of Gilgamesh gives one of the first historical records of sport with Gilgamesh engaging in a form of belt wrestling with Enkidu. It has also been traced back to ancient Sumer. Another theory was running was the first sport ever played as well, but there is no clear evidence for either of these theories.
