ACommonwealth Games Association (CGA) is a national sports council of the Commonwealth Sports movement. Each association is responsible for organising, supporting and overseeing their national team for both theCommonwealth Games and theCommonwealth Youth Games.[1] The associations are subject to the rules of, and report to, theCommonwealth Games Federation.[2] As well as promoting sports nationally, an association can also place abid for the Commonwealth Games for a potential host city.[3][4] While some nations have a stand-alone association dealing exclusively with the Commonwealth Games (particularly theHome Nations, theCrown Dependencies and most[5] of theBritish Overseas Territories, all of whom compete at the Olympics as one Great Britain team but compete as separate teams at the Commonwealth Games), in many of the Commonwealth nations, the localNational Olympic Committee performs the function of Commonwealth Games Association for that nation. In a few nations, such asEswatini andMalawi, the local organisation carries both names in its normal title.
As stated in the CGF Constitution, the current 74 member associations are grouped into the following regions:[6]Gabon andTogo are expected to make their debuts at the2026 Commonwealth Games bringing the member associations to 74.
The following 9 have been members of the CGA in the past, before their nations withdrew from the Commonwealth or merged with other members.
