The 1994 Commonwealth Games were held in Victoria, in the province of British Columbia in Canada, from 18 August to 28 August 1994.

Sixty-three nations sent 2,557 athletes and 914 officials to the Games. The end of apartheid in the early part of the decade saw the return of South Africa to the games in 1994. Ten sports were featured at the Victoria Games – athletics, aquatics (diving, swimming & synchronised swimming), badminton, boxing, cycling, gymnastics, lawn bowls, shooting, weightlifting and wrestling.
