From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of countries by largest island . It does not include divided islands ; several of the world's largest islands, such as New Guinea , Borneo , Ireland and Hispaniola , are divided between two or three states. This list only includes islands fully owned by a single country. Similarly, many of the world's largest islands belong to a handful of states, such as Indonesia ; only the largest island of each country is listed here.
