Wales secured 31 medals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, finishing ninth in the medal table with nine golds, 10 silvers and 12 bronzes. The tally included 11 in cycling, six in swimming, five in athletics and four in boxing. Emma Finucane was the standout performer, winning a record four gold medals and being hailed as one of Wales' greatest athletes.

Chef de mission Gethin Jones called it a 'huge success', noting Wales exceeded Birmingham 2022 performances by over 100%. The streamlined Games featured fewer sports, making the achievement notable against the 36-medal haul at Gold Coast 2018. Jones praised the team's culture and spirit, emphasizing that despite the medal success, some Welsh sports still face challenges and require continued support for future campaigns.
