Tahiti and Vanuatu were bidding to stage the 18th edition of the continental event.
The PGC’s 22 members voted in favour of Tahiti’s candidacy at the General Assembly today.
Vanuatu had been hoping to host the Pacific Games for the first time, building on the successful staging of the 2017 Pacific Mini Games.
Vanuatu previously bid for the 2015 Pacific Games, but was beaten in the race by Papua New Guinea and its capital city Port Moresby.
