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 exclusively 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.
