History

Wales made their Commonwealth Games debut in Hamilton in 1930 and are one of only six nations to have taken part in every Games since then. Since Wales cannot compete at the Olympic Games as a separate nation, the Commonwealth Games provides them its only opportunity to compete in a major international multi-sport event. The principality's participation in the Games is organised by the Commonwealth Games Council of Wales.[3]

Delegation

The delegation of Wales consisted of 32 competitors, of whom 15 were female and 17 were males.
