The East African Athletics Championships, also known as the Zone V Championships, was an international athletics competition between East African nations, organised by the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA). It was established in 1995,[1] the same year as two other regional championships: the West and North African Athletics Championships and the African Southern Region Athletics Championships.[2][3] The competition succeeded the East and Central African Championships as the premier regional athletics competition for the region. All the events at the championships were in outdoor track and field.[1]
