Rwanda made its Commonwealth Games debut at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, from October 3 to October 14, 2010.[1] Rwanda was admitted to the Commonwealth of Nations in November 2009, becoming the second member state of the Commonwealth that has no colonial or constitutional links with the United Kingdom.[2]

For its first participation in the Commonwealth Games, Rwanda was represented by a delegation of over 22 athletes, competing in athletics, boxing, cycling, swimming, and tennis.[3]

The team did not win any medals.[4]
