Country Music Association Award for International Achievement

The Country Music Association Award for International Achievement is presented by the American Country Music Association to international artists and executives. The reveal of the winners of the international awards generally coincides with the CMA's annual Country Music Association Awards.

International Artist Achievement Award

Formerly presented as the International Touring Artist Award, this award recognizes outstanding achievement by a US based artist who has demonstrated the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the Country Music industry outside of the United States during the eligibility period. This award was first presented in 1996. It was not presented in 2010 or 2015. The Dixie Chicks were the first artists to receive the award twice. 2008 is the only year in which there were multiple winners.[1]

Global Country Achievement Award

Named in honor of Jeff Walker, this award recognizes outstanding achievements by a Country Music artist signed outside of the United States. The artist must have furthered the popularity of Country Music as well as brought attention to the Country Music format in their foreign based territory. This award was first presented in 2003 and has been presented annually since, with the exception of 2015. The Global Country Achievement Award has been most frequently won by Australian artists.

The Shires were the first UK act to win the award
