==History==
Badminton was added to the Commonwealth Games program in 1966, as an optional sport. The sport was chosen to replace lawn bowls, due the lack of facilities at Jamaica. Having this status until the 1994 edition, when it became a mandatory sport. In the first three editions, five events were played (men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles). Between 1978 and 1990 a sixth event was in the program (the mixed team competition). Also between 1966 and 1990, one bronze medal was at stake. Between 1994 and 2002, the losers of the two semifinals also won two bronze medals. In 1998, the team events in both genres were introduced, but at the next edition the event was dropped and the mixed teams event returned. Later in 2002, the mixed team event returned. The last change to the program was in 2006, when the format and events played were reverted to the format used until 1990.
