Lawn bowls is one of ten core sports at the Commonwealth Games and has been continuously held at every Games since the 1930 British Empire Games, with the exception of the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Kingston, Jamaica. A total of four events per gender were contested, along with two open para-sport events, which meant a total of ten medal events were contested.
There are 28 participating nations in the lawn bowls with a total of 240 athletes.[3] The number of athletes a nation entered is in parentheses beside the name of the country.
