badminton at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games

Badminton at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games was the inaugural appearance for Badminton at the Commonwealth Games.

Badminton and shooting were added to the Games because two sports; lawn bowls and rowing were dropped due to lack of facilities.

The badminton events took place at the Convention Hall in the National Arena, in Kingston, Jamaica, from 4 to 9 August 1966.

England topped the badminton medal table by virtue of winning three gold medals.
