Commonwealth Games Association

A Commonwealth 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 in the Commonwealth Games[1]. The associations are subject to the rules of, and report to the Commonwealth Games Federation[2]. As well as promoting sports nationally, an association can also place a bid for the Commonwealth Games for a potential host city[3][4]. While some nations have a stand alone association dealing exlusively with the Commonwealth Games, in many of the Commonwealth nations, the local National Olympic Committee performs the function of Commonwealth Games Association for that nation. In a few nations, such as Eswatini and Malawi, the local organisation carries both names in its normal title.
