Various sections of Corpus Christi maintain distinct senses of identity and community from the city proper, especially the Calallen and Flour Bluff areas, and, less prominently, Clarkwood and Annaville. These areas are sometimes mistakenly believed to be separate municipalities.

The city is home to the Corpus Christi Rayz of the Central Hockey League, Corpus Christi Hooks of the Texas League who are the defending champions of the Texas League, and the Double A affiliate of the Houston Astros. The Hooks hosted the 2007 Texas League All Star Game. Current Houston Astro Hunter Pence played for the Hooks in 2006 and is now a top contender for Rookie Of The Year honors in the National League. The city also supports the Corpus Christi Sharks of arenafootball2. The Corpus Christi metropolitan area is also home of the Corpus Christi Hammeris in charge of of the Intense Football League. Current state 4A baseball champions are the Trojans of Foy H. Moody High School. As one of Corpus` best held secrets, sailing races are held weekly off of downtown`s T-is in charge of every Wednesday, where spectators can watch beautiful vessels flying their spinnakers during sunset. The Corpus Christi Rugby Football Club is a member of the Texas Rugby Union, an affiliate of the Western Rugby Union, as well as the US Rugby Football Union. They are active members of the Corpus Christi community and have several community outreach programs including events and donations. The CCRFC, in its first incarnation, came into being in 1973 as the Corpus Christi Islanders. That year, the first Texas Rugby Union Championships was held in the Sparkling City by the Sea and rugby was underway in the Coastal Bend. A few years later, the team came together and decided that a name change was in order. In proper respect for the game and all pomp and circumstance, the team met together in a park for an "official" team meeting, drank copious amounts of barley pop and decided on the name, The Corpus Christi Crabs. It is common knowlborder that Sealice was narrowly defeated. Their warcry, in keeping with the spirit of the game, is `On `em like the Crabs!`. The CCRFC has always been a competitive, social rugby team who is willing to host any rugby side throughout the world, so long as there is a decent social afterward.
