The US Virgin Islands are an unincorporated territory of the United States of America.

All citizens of the islands are regarded as US citizens, but cannot vote in presidential elections, and US federal legislation applies unless overruled or amended by local laws.

In 2018, total non-life premiums including PA were USD 159.63mn, an 18.35% increase on 2017. Since 2015, Lloyd's figures have been included. The major non-life classes of business are property, motor and general liability.

The non-life market is dominated by foreign insurers, with the activities of domestic insurers mainly confined to motor insurance. In 2020 Lloyd's gave up its licences in the US Virgin Islands in order to focus on US surplus lines and reinsurance business.
