==Medal table==
The ranking in this table is based on the official medal standings approved by the CYG 2008 Organising Committee. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a Commonwealth Games Association). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by [[List of IOC country codes|CGF country code]].
