The National Games of the People's Republic of China (simplified Chinese: 中华人民共和国全国运动会; traditional Chinese: 中華人民共和國全國運動會; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó Quánguó Yùndònghuì), sometimes known as the All China Games (though not to be confused with the All-China Games), is the premier sports event in China at national level. It is usually held once every four years, most recently in October 2009, when the 11th National Games of the People's Republic of China took place in Shandong. The next games will be held in Liaoning in 2013.

The forerunner of the Games was the Chinese National Games, first held in 1910. This ran until 1948 and the competition was relaunched under its current name in 1959, following the formation of the People's Republic of China.[1]
