CFF - About

Fencing was included in the Commonwealth Games from 1950 (when the event was still known as the British Empire Games) through to 1970.

Although it was dropped from the Games in 1974, the Commonwealth Fencing Federation maintains the tradition of competition between Commonwealth fencing nations. This goal underlies all of the objectives of the Federation.

The running of the Federation is governed by the Statutes of the Commonwealth Fencing Federation.

Membership of the Federation is open to national governing bodies of fencing in Commonwealth countries.

A timeline of the history of the Federation is also included on this website.
