African Artistic Gymnastics Championships

The African Artistic Gymnastics Championship (French: Championnats d'Afrique de gymnastique Artistique) is the top artistic gymnastics African tournament. Initially it was held roughly every two years in even years, but starting in 2021 it was held on odd years when Olympic or World Championships qualification was necessary. In those cases, only team and all-around events are contested whereas in even years all events are contested. It is governed by the African Gymnastics Union.
