- Of the 29 new gTLDs dedicated to sports:
- 21 are either community or generic ones (that anyone can buy).
- 8 are dotBrands (domain name extensions operated by Trademarks for their own use).
- Five new gTLDs ended the year with between 10,000 and 20,000 domain names. The TLDs in order are:
- .RUN with 19,289 domain name creations (December 2019).
- .BIKE
- .YOGA
- .FITNESS
- .GOLF with 10,148 creations (December 2019).
- .YOGA and .GOLF surpassed 10,000 domain name registrations in 2019.
- These TLDs ended the year with fewer registrations in December than January:
- .BIKE
- .FOOTBALL (!)
- .RACING
- .SOCCER
- .FUTBOL ("football" in Spanish)
- .CRICKET
- These TLDs maintained their registration levels (i.e no declines) throughout 2019:
- .YOGA
- .SPORT
- .SURF
- .AFL (dotBrand)
- .XBOX (dotBrand)
- 12 extensions are below 1,000 registrations but most are dotBrands, except these four generic ones:
- .RODEO
- .RUGBY
- .BASKETBALL
- .BASEBALL
- Two dotBrands remained at one single registration throughout the year:
- .NIKE
- .NBA
- Playstation does not seem to care about new gTLDs but Xbox does with 57 .XBOX domains registered in December.
- The .MLB new gTLD held to the same number of registrations all year: 33
- Something wrong clearly happened in 2019 with these Registries:
- .RACING started the year with 67,458 registrations and ended December with 3,523 domain names in total.
- .CRICKET started with 20,772 and ended with 1,561 creations.
