Birmingham 2022 will welcome 4,500 athletes from 72 nations and territories for 11 days of spectacular sport, from 28 July – 8 August 2022.

The New Zealand Team will be represented 233 athletes, competing in 19 sports and two para sports.

Women’s T20 cricket and 3×3 basketball are to debut on the programme.

Able bodied and Para-athletes will once again compete side by side at the Games, as Birmingham brings the largest ever Commonwealth Games Para-programme to life.

Birmingham 2022 will make global sport history by becoming the first ever major multi-sport event to award more medals to women than men.

Athletes and team officials will be housed in three ‘campus’ villages at The University of Birmingham, The University of Warwick, and The NEC Hotel Campus.

The Games will be the largest sporting event in the UK since the London 2012 Olympic Games.
