The goal of this paper is to show that the symmetry properties of the point vortex equations of motion on the sphere can be exploited to obtain detailed information about relative equilibria for any value \(N\). The results include a classification of possible types of relative equilibria, a number of existence theorems and the construction of bifurcation diagrams for some specific cases.
