I am a Rugby fan, and I like to download games to watch later.
My question is, what do I need to do to get these games to show up in XBMC?
I am willing to do the work, but I'm not sure what content needs to be created for:
1. Games to show up in the library under a Sports or Rugby Category
2. Each game to show logos of the teams playing
3. Maybe a blurb about the game grabbed from somewhere.

I'm not necessarily looking for something to do all of this automatically, ala SickBeard, I am expecting to have to create all of this myself.

If anyone has experience with this or ideas, let me know.

I am currently running Frodo

A question on this:

Could I create a separate NFO for each of them with links to the images and such to get things to show up properly?

I'm bumping this because I think its INSANE that XBMC development has come so far and we continue to ignore peoples request for some sort of sport integration.

With that being said, jader, I am a fan or NBA. When the Mavericks won the Championship I downloaded all of their playoff games and looked for something similar to what you are asking. Following the Steps below it is listed under my "TV Shows" section of XBMC.

I created a separate folder for "Sports" called "Special Interest" then within that folder I have a "NBA" and "Dallas Mavericks NBA Playoffs 2011" folder in my library (Ex. C:\Special Interest\NBA\Dallas Mavericks NBA Playoffs 2011\).
Within the actual playoff folder I created 4 season folders (Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4) (NBA Playoffs have 4 rounds) and a "tvshow.nfo". Without that nfo file it will not be listed under my "TV Shows"
In the "Season 1" folder I kept the filenames intact (Ex. 2011.04.16.Blazers.vs.Mavericks.Game.1.720p.x264.mkv) and created an identical named .nfo file (Ex. 2011.04.16.Blazers.vs.Mavericks.Game.1.720p.x264.nfo) This nfo file contains the information XBMC will use to display the game title. (Ex. "2011.04.16.Blazers.vs.Mavericks.Game.1.720p.x264.mkv" becomes "Trail Blazers vs. Mavericks Round 1 Game 1" as the Episode 1 title.) I am attaching a copy of my .nfo file for this game at the end of this post so you can get a feel for what I'm talking about.
I did this for all of the games with in each round. Every .mkv file has a .nfo file.
I added this source as a "TV Show" and just have all the options disabled under the source settings (Ex. Run automated scan, selected folder contains a single TV show, and Exclude path from library updates)

There are some other things you will need to do to get fanart, season art, etc. The XBMC wiki has decent instructions on how to do this. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions.

I am replying to this post because we do have support for this in XBMC v12 Frodo.

Custom video nodes (wiki) allow people to make as many nodes as they want. All that is left is for someone to make a sports scraper, and that's not something that requires any changes in XBMC's core to support.

Thanks for the reply Ned. I stand corrected. It has just been frustrating following and using XBMC and not having to ability to do this. I'm glad that additions have been made that can resolve this issue.
