The municipality consists of the following districts:Bas-Warneton, Comines,Houthem,Ploegsteert, andWarneton (including the hamlet ofGheer). They were all transferred in 1963 from thearrondissement of Ypres in the Dutch-speaking province ofWest Flanders to the newly createdarrondissement of Mouscron in French-speaking Hainaut. The five municipalities (Comines, Houthem, Ploegsteert, Bas-Warneton, Warneton) were merged into a single Comines-Warneton municipality in 1977. Since then, the municipality forms anexclave of both Hainaut andWallonia, being surrounded by the Flemish province ofWest Flanders and theFrench department ofNord and not connected to the rest of the French-speaking area of Belgium.

Comines-Warneton is twinned withHedge End in England and withArgenton-les-Vallées in France.
