Paso Fino is Puerto Rico's official national sport. It was made the national sport by the Puerto Rican Olympic Committee in 1956 and reaffirmed by the Puerto Rican legislature as such 3 times. The most definitive on April 11, 2000 (Puerto Rico Senate bill SB 1856) making Paso Fino the official national sport of Puerto Rico (see link below)

At one point cock fighting (Pelea de gallos) was Puerto Rico's official national sport, but a law passed on July 31, 2007 repealed the declaration made on June 30, 1954 that Cock fighting was a cultural right of all Puerto Ricans.

Cock fighting was never declared a national sport, but accepted as such due to the 1954 law which has now been repealed. (See link below)

Though Baseball and even Basketball as very popular in Puerto Rico, neither are declared national sports by legislature or any other governing body. Baseball may be considered the national pastime, but not due to any statutory authority, only due to its popularity.

The national sport of Puerto Rico is Paso Fino, which is a horse-related sport.

It was made the official sport by the Puerto Rican government in 1966.

Contrary to popular belief, American baseball is not the national sport of Puerto Rico. Although the US claims ownership of Puerto Rico, the independent Puerto Rican government (and its allies in South America & Europe) disagree.
