Australia Rules Out 2030 Commonwealth Games Bid

Australia has officially announced it will not bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games but remains determined to dominate the medal tally at the prestigious event.

The Commonwealth Games Australia (CGA) chief executive, Craig Phillips, clarified the country’s position, citing logistical and financial challenges.

With Brisbane already gearing up to host the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics, Australia has chosen to focus its resources on other sporting priorities.

“Realistically, 2030 is not on our radar,” Phillips revealed. “The timing is challenging, particularly with the demands on commercial partnerships and government support for Brisbane 2032.”

This decision follows Victoria’s withdrawal as the 2026 Commonwealth Games host, which caused a major reshuffle in the event’s plans.

Glasgow stepped in to save the Games, unveiling a streamlined program of just 10 sports compared to the 19 contested in Birmingham in 2022.

Despite stepping away from hosting duties, Australia continues to assert its status as a Commonwealth sporting powerhouse.

Having topped the medal tally in 12 of the last 20 editions, CGA is confident the Australian contingent will once again shine in Glasgow next year. Phillips has forecasted between 270 and 300 athletes representing Australia, with an estimated 30% participating in para sports.

Meanwhile, preparations in Glasgow are moving swiftly, with organisers leveraging their experience from hosting the 2014 Games. The innovative King’s Baton Relay has also been revamped, ensuring a more inclusive and cost-effective celebration across all 74 Commonwealth nations.
