Commonwealth Games England (CGE) is the nationalCommonwealth Games Association for England. The company is responsible for supporting and managing the participation ofTeam England at the Commonwealth Games'.[1]
The Commonwealth Games Council for England (CGCE) was originally responsible for 'Team England' and oversaw each team between the1930 British Empire Games andMelbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games and the England teams at the Commonwealth Youth Games.
Membership of the Games Council consisted of representatives from 26 different sports on theCommonwealth Games' Sports Programme, supported by a small salaried team.
CGCE's president was gold medallist SirChristopher Chataway, the first winner of theBBC's Sports Personality of the Year award[2] and a teammate ofSir Roger Bannister.
Following a review in 2009, the Commonwealth Games Council for England was disbanded and a new organisation, Commonwealth Games England, was established in its place. CGE is governed by a board of non-executive directors, chaired by Ian Metcalfe. The Board is made up of experts from fields including sport, marketing and finance[3] including England hockey playerAlex Danson and co-founder ofCarphone Warehouse andBritish Olympic Association non-executive directorDavid Ross and the national director of theEnglish Institute of Sport,Nigel Walker.
Laura Kenny was named as the organization's president in March 2025, succeedingDenise Lewis and becoming CGE's youngest-ever president at the age of 32.[4]
Since 1994, the costs of the preparation of Team England have been supported with funding fromSport England, a public body that distributes public and lottery funds. The raising of funds for the team's participation in the Games themselves is the sole responsibility of CGE and is raised through sponsorship and fundraising activities.[5]
In the run-up to the2010 Commonwealth Games, CGE adopted a new logo and brand identity. The logo features a single red English lion representing strength, power and performance.[6]
