It was at the 11th EAGA Council Meeting held in Guam in March 1996 that Macao was awarded the right and honour to host the 4th East Asian Games, marking an important milestone in the sporting history of Macao.

Since the establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region(SAR) on 20 December 1999, the Government has demonstrated its full support of this regional event through its dedicated policies and actions to ensure the successful organisation of the 4th East Asian Games.

The many preparatory works of the 4th East Asian Games began in earnest following the official establishment of the Macao 2005 East Asian Games Coordination Office in July 2000.

On 1 January 2002, the Coordination Office was replaced by the Macao 4th East Asian Games Organising Committee (MEAGOC). MEAGOC was legally established to continue the important mission to conceive, plan, prepare, promote and organise a successful and memorable regional multisport event, the 4th East Asian Games.

During the 4th East Asian Games, there will be 12 bowling events, with both men and women competing in 6 different categories (Singles, Doubles, Trios, Five Player Teams, All-Events, and Masters). The competition will start on the 3rd day of the Games and will be played over 6 consecutive days.

The total number of gold medals to be awarded during the bowling competition will be 12, 6 for men and 6 for women.
