Commonwealth Fencing Championships

History

The Commonwealth Fencing Championships is one of the older sport-specific sporting events held in the Commonwealth of Nations. Following the removal of fencing as a core sport within the main Commonwealth Games the first Commonwealth Fencing Championships were held in 1974 and they have been held in the same cycle as Commonwealth Games meets ever since. The Championships are managed by Commonwealth Fencing Federation.
