Commonwealth Games appearances (overview) | |
Wales is one of six countries to have competed in every Commonwealth Games since 1930, the others being Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand and Scotland. At the Commonwealth Games, Wales takes part as a separate entity, as in the Six Nations Rugby Championship, Rugby World Cup and international association football competitions. In other events, such as the Olympic Games, they compete under the banner of the United Kingdom.[1]
Commonwealth Games Wales (Welsh: Gemau'r Gymanwlad Cymru; formerly the Commonwealth Games Council for Wales), manages the team's entry to the games and supports Welsh athletes in their participation.[2]
Wales has hosted one Commonwealth Games to date, the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff.[3]
