The Commonwealth Games are organised and governed by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), which has its headquarters in London, United Kingdom. The CGF is now also known by the name "Commonwealth Sport".

About the Commonwealth Games:

They are a multi-sport event for athletes from the member nations and territories of the Commonwealth, most of which were once part of the British Empire.

The first Games were held in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada, as the British Empire Games. About 400 athletes from 11 countries took part.

The name has changed over time: British Empire Games (1930-1950), British Empire and Commonwealth Games (1954-1966), British Commonwealth Games (1970-1974), and Commonwealth Games (since 1978).

They are held every four years, usually two years after the Olympic Games.

The Games include some sports that are not in the Olympics, such as lawn bowls, netball and squash, and they include para-sports in the main programme.

A baton relay (the Queen's Baton Relay, now the King's Baton Relay) carries a message from the British monarch to the host city.

The CGF's motto is "Humanity, Equality, Destiny".
