The Commonwealth Chess Association is the umbrella body for the chess federations of the Commonwealth of Nations — about fifty national federations in total, spanning India, Australia, Canada, UK, much of Africa, and a number of smaller island states. The annual championship rotates between member countries and was held in 2026 in Sri Lanka for the first time since 2014.
