- This list is derived from Google Insights for Search, collected over a four year period (Jan 2007 to Jan 2011). Search volume is a relative term (reflecting how many searches have been done for a particular term, relative to the total number of searches done on Google), and does not represent an actual number of searches. The sport names on the list are extracted from only the top 20 search terms in the category 'sport', so the number of sports will vary.
