About This Dataset

Most Commonwealth Games Gold Medals by Country (All-Time)

Australia has passed a thousand Commonwealth Games gold medals and has topped the medal table at all but a handful of editions since 1930, helped by strength in swimming, where a single Games offers dozens of golds. South Africa's total is suppressed by a long absence: it was excluded from the Games from 1962 to 1990 over apartheid.

Analysis

Australia (1,001), England (773) and Canada (510) take the top three in Gold Medals in 2022. Australia and England together hold 55.7% of the combined total of all 10 entities. Only 3 of the 10 reach even half the leader's figure (500.5 or more).
