[["The Commonwealth Games is a multinational, multi-sport event. Held every four years, it involves the elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations. Attendance at the Commonwealth Games is typically around 5,000 athletes. The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) is the organisation that is responsible for the direction and control of the Commonwealth Games.

The first such event, then known as the British Empire Games, was held in 1930 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The name changed to British Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1954, to British Commonwealth Games in 1970 and assumed the current name of the Commonwealth Games in 1978. As with the Olympics, they have been subject to political pressure, a notable example being the 1986 boycott by some nations protesting Britain's refusal to impose sanctions against South Africa.

As well as many Olympic sports, the Games also include some sports that are played mainly in Commonwealth countries, such as lawn bowls, rugby sevens and netball.

There are currently 53 members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and 71 teams participate in the Games. The four constituent countries of the United Kingdom – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – send separate teams to the Commonwealth Games (unlike at the Olympic Games, where the United Kingdom sends a single team), and individual teams are also sent from the British Crown dependencies – Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man – and many of the British overseas territories. The Australian external territory of Norfolk Island also sends its own team, as do the Cook Islands and Niue, two states in free association with New Zealand.

Only six teams have attended every Commonwealth Games: Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales. Australia has been the highest scoring team for ten games, England for seven and Canada for one.

At the 1930 games, women competed in the swimming events only. From 1934, women also competed in some athletics events.

The next edition will be held in 2010 in Delhi, India. In 2014 the Games will be held in Glasgow, Scotland.

The Commonwealth Youth Games are a small-scale version of the Commonwealth Games, designed for children and young people.

The inaugural Commonwealth Youth Games were held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2000, and the second in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia, in 2004.

The third Games took place in Pune, Maharashtra, India, in 2008, and were viewed in part as a test event for the 2010 main Commonwealth Games. The fourth Games are scheduled to take place in Douglas, Isle of Man, in 2011. From 2011 onwards the Games will revert to a four-yearly cycle. The hosting of the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games has been awarded to Apia, Samoa . Wrexham in Wales has so far expressed an interest in hosting the 2019 Commonwealth Youth Games.

In the latest edition of the Games, in Pune, hosts India topped the gold medal tally with 33 gold, followed by Australia and England with 24 and 18 respectively.

Commonwealth Winter Games have been held to supplement the multi-sport Commonwealth Games, which focus on summer sports. This is in analogy to the Winter Olympics augmenting Summer Games.

The Commonwealth Winter Games was held in St. Moritz in Switzerland in 1962.

It was proposed to hold Winter Games in 2010 in India, alongside the 2010 Games in New Delhi. However, the event was eventually not organised. The proposed venue was Gulmarg, where the Indian National Winter Games have been held in the past. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said, "Kashmir would be developed as an industrial destination and paradise of tourism. In this direction, Kashmir has been selected as spot across for holding 2010 Commonwealth Winter Sports.""]]
